But think about it, hundreds are bought and sold every day in Florida (they are less expensive as most are imported through the state), what do you think happens to most of them that live, they are released by those who just dont care, by those who buy cheap imported lizards and snakes then release them when they dont want them.
Of course this problem does not directly affect me, but it does affect me indirectly, it gives any governing body nearby the idea to regulate or ban something that those of us who enjoy and are responsible become the unfortunate victims of.
I know of a reptile business in FlA that was storing live reptiles in a storage unit in summer, then selling them online, the business was named after the town/city it was located in, minus the second word. Of course this same person switched businesses and names more than a few times all across the east coast, and probably still sowes alot of people money.
Im sorry but irresponsible owners are the majority of the invasive monitor problem in FLA, you just dont know about the releases done every day, whos gonna admit to it, a few morons thats all.
