I think this one is going to be quite a bit tougher to fight. I don't know what the response is in the rest of the country, but here in FL, people support the python ban. As I was getting my non-reptile friends to sign the HR669 letters, I kept hearing, "Oh, but the pythons should be banned. It's so sad that they are taking over the Everglades."



I was wondering what the feedback was like in other regions of the country and among non-herpers. Since I have a 13yo daughter in the performing arts, I have a lot of friends at our classical ballet school, youth theater, etc. They are typically people who don't keep reptiles as pets. While they will sign these HR669 letters for me as a friend as to protect their guinea pig pets, they aren't too crazy about saving the snakes, LOL!
