First of all Larry..I don't have a problem with this.

What I do have is a lack of willingness to accept testomony without proof. Maybe hearsay evidence is enough for you. Personally, I don't pass rumors as fact. The most basic scientific method depends on solid proof-not supposition.

Breeding burms in captivity is comonly done here. That your lab boys managed to do what dozens of breeders do here for a living again means nothing.

Breeding the same species in the wild is a far different thing. I am very well educated in how this enviroment works. There are a multitude of factors that work against any species succeeeding here even with our more favorable climate. Eggs here are exposed to predatory species, chemicals, and disease and even weather that are tottaly alien to them. All of these have to be overcome to reproduce successfully.

With native species dying out from man screwing with their enviroment, I find it even harder to beleave that an alien snake that is big-really big, would suceed when others species that are better designed to adapt have failed.

Like what was said above...Boas have been released here too and have failed-and of course they are livebearing which should have given them the edge.

I ask why?

It still remains very simple.

If it is happening, then someone should be able to find a nest and photograph it. Show me proof and I will beleave. Otherwise, we are all getting sore fingers typing over theorys.
