i have read several articles in the local news and one on yahoo. they had a 15 ft burmese to show off for the cameras.

here is one link

http://www.baynews9.com/content/36/2009/5/29/478292.html?title=Pythons squeeze too much life out of Everglades



we all know senator nelson's opinion on the "pythons". in every article lately it is python this and python that. the miami herald seemed content blanket labeling all the reptile problems simply python problems.



charlie christ, is who we really need to be in contact with. he is running for senate in 2010 and has ambitions for president (if you recall he was part of the little group of prospects for the vice president on the republican side). they are already talking of hunting them out and paying people to do it. that is spending that has to come from somewhere, and with 10% unemployment in this area lets face it money talks. and free federal money surely looks good to the guys in control of the books



Florida herpers and every single person that sells reptiles/ related products should by now realize that the fight started here (and Guam) and will continue to be the focal point of every herp restricted law introduced. i am guilty of not doing enough to oppose new regulations, regardless of reason. But, we have a chance to go proactive with this governor and try to help remedy are own mess. before the animal rights groups have a new friend. i hope tom and some of the others that are older and have seen some of the nastiest that the government can throw at us will have some ideas for getting their attention in a respectful yet forceful way.
