All,



While I understand the posters points. There are some issues. First of all it has been said that these pythons would use "hibernaculums" if you will in the colder climates to beat the cold thus maintaining a somewhat preferred temperature during freezing winter months. However, if we decided to do an experiment I would want to go to south Florida and catch some of the "invaders" and use them as the subjects. The experiment would not be that hard to conduct. We could keep some outside and we could do an experiment under controlled conditions inside. I am not sure whether we would have any issues as far as cruelty though.
