Man, did anyone else notice this quote from the Miami Herald article:

"On a tree island a mile from the Pahayokee boardwalk, Mike Rochford and two other team members discovered a 15-foot-plus female, one of the largest captured in the park, and three males entwined in a pulsing `mating ball'."

Guess the cold didn't have as much of an impact on them as some have claimed! They're already breeding again!

Also, in response to some other comments here, there is a preponderance of information available that documents just how damaging invasive species are to native species and ecosystems. The burden of proof is on those who disagree. Provide evidence that burms are not having a heavy impact on natives. If you are not willing or able to scientifically prove that, then stop complaining. And the argument that burms have a net zero impact, or that they are filling a niche of other native species, is simply not true. If you put 1 burm in ENP then that statement would be true- it wouldn't have a big impact. If you put 2,000? yeah maybe...If you put 10,000? 30,000? 50,000? Where's the point that you would admit that its possible for these snakes to have a large negative impact on native species? How many native species would have to disappear before you say ok, we should probably do something about this?
