Yep...I totally agree with you.
My point was not to voice my opinion. I keep a Burm here in FL and quite enjoy my ability to do so, even if it does cost an extra $100 per year on top of the $50 I already pay the FWC.
I guess I just wanted to add the opinions of what I hear around me in adult conversation of non-herpers. As non-reptile people, all they know about pythons is that 1) They are all huge (and scary) 2) They are supposedly taking over the Everglades 3) They are there because 'bad' pet owners released them there. I guess no one else in the state releases them, the Burms all slither down to S FL, or pet owners all drive en masse to the Everglades for secret releases. The press down here is brutal when it comes to wild/escaped herps.
Oh, and I had a typo...I meant "Hurricane Andrew would NOT have been an ecological disaster..."
