"Hopefully with such a high death rate on all of these non native species we will have a better chance in our cause."

One would certainly hope. If common sense makes any difference (I know it doesn't with politics) then you would think the idea of pythons spreading to 1/3 of the US would be shot down when it is now looking like they can't spread to 1/3 of Florida.

Also, I certainly don't want to throw the Burms under the bus but the boas REALY never made any sense to me with what sounded like a very limited and barely sustaining population and the fact that they've had ages to come up naturally into California or Texas already if they could.

Hope others aren’t slipping into complacency as I was tempted armed with the results of this winter’s cold fronts. Just because I can’t see how even people who apparently know nothing about boids could still think a ban is justified doesn’t mean they aren’t still hell bent on pushing one through. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry at the article on some new Florida boid restriction that quoted a state legislator who talked about how popular bills have become that didn’t cost the government anything. Basically she was saying that once they run out of our money to spend they focus their free time restricting our freedoms. She was even a Republican, so sad.
