I'm with you Ed. Junk science x2 indeed. I don't know what the threshold is to establish a self-supporting population of any exotic reptile in the 'Glades, but I'm sceptical it has been reached. And I question why it seems its always the Burmese Python that is the indentified culprit..other tropical reptiles have been common trade in southern Florida for decades: why not new world boids, for example?
Anyway, just my thoughts...not to be confused with data. But from what I've read, objective data on the subject is rare to non-existant. Of course that's no reason to disuade policy makers...
