While there is nothing for me disagree with I would like to say that the problems of these invasive introduced herps are largely limited to South Florida. And as such it should be addressed as a local issue, not a nationwide epidemic..... all things in perspective.
I also would like to point out that in the Everglades NP they will "bust" you for catching or killing one of these invasive animals when they should offer a bounty instead. I can understand the wish to not let every wanna-be-herper out there tossing the place and taking or killing native animals, but a permit type system would relieve that issue to the point that benefits would greatly outweigh the environmental risk of leaving these animals there that are there doing damage, find a way to let us help. We are largely a responsible group of people that would like to set things right... plus it would be fun

It is a matter of the focus of the ban? - lbenton, Mon Feb 11 07:30:57 2008
