So you believe that Burmese pythons can establish populations in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, desert areas of the southwest, etc.????
Also, do you have evidence that native wildlife would be "decimated?"
Regarding your question, "how many times have we all heard about cat and dogs missing from certains areas then next you know they pull a giant burm out of someons garages...", well, I've *never* heard of that here in North Carolina where I live. Even *you* said you've only heard of "a couple cases"! How does "a couple
cases" translate into a huge, national problem????
Thanks,
Ed
>>I agree with alot of your point but the map is mostly acurate due to the fact that it is highlighting areas they can "potential" establish populations in, they are highlighting areas were the climate is favorable, granted I agree they are not going to get established in downtown Dallas tx, however the little pockets you speak of they can decimate what little native wildlife is left in a matter of no time and unlike blackbear or many of the other species that are isolated to these tiny pockets in the south, berms and retics can move about from one pocket to another more freely

>>a large burm traveling through a housing development at night is going to be a lot less noticeable then a blackbear, burm hides up under someones front porch during the day and next night continues his search for the next wildlife pocket you speak of

>>how many times have we all heard about cat and dogs missing from certains areas then next you know they pull a giant burm out of someons garages that has obviously been their for extended period of time, ive heard of a couple cases like that, they ahad one all over that cop show. my point is larger snakes have an easier time taking up residents with us in our populated areas then much of our native wildlife
