" Results of the risk-assessment models indicate that species including boa constrictors (Boa constrictor), ball pythons (Python regius) and reticulated pythons (P. reticulatus) may pose particularly high risks as potentially invasive species."





While this comment only involves three species it is in fact a very broad ranging blanket statement.



You have three animals that really cover your bases. Small, medium and large , three major geographical regions , Old and new world , Africa , Asia and central thru South America. A wide range of habitats within those regions. You have both boas and pythons. Egg layers and live bearers and two species that are key animals in trade along with one scary commonly sold " man killer " .



If anyone thinks the guys that put this crap out are just silly misguided scientist who don't understand. Rodda , Reed , Snow etc didn't just fall off the apple cart . They been doing this stuff 40 years . They know how exactly the game is played.
