what do you mean "alternative solutions"? Parts of Florida has problems with iguanas and burmese pythons, but the state (and probably some localities) has attempted to address their specific problems already so what alternative solutions would you suggest? I live in the mountains of Virginia, and there are no populations of burmese pythons reeking havoc here, and I don't step out into my back yard and see iguanas everywhere. So why would you go to the federal government and start suggesting "alternative solutions"???? It's almost like admitting that there is a national problem, and there isn't. It's stuff like that that I was talking about being discussed in other forums, and I think that mentality can be more detrimental to the hobby than anything else. If a locality has an issue, they should deal with it. If you live in Florida, and they have a problem in Alaska with cockatiels, it wouldn't be right for the national government to ban them everywhere, the local government should solve their problem. If you have suggestions to help Florida and their problem, then submit it to them. As for this inquiry into boas, pythons, and anacondas, there is NO national threat to wildlife or public saftey, so it should simply be completely opposed based in that.
