I surely hope Mr. Gibbons is threatening a lawsuit to (or at least demanding a retraction from) the news organization(s) that have either badly misquoted him or totally made up some of those ridiculous quotes. If not....







>>Sounds like you might think that Whit Gibbons does not have much hands on experience dealing with herps.

>>As a non-pet owner (well not now) but someone interested in herps, I'm curious, is it fair to say that you all as a group (pet owners) think that all of the scientists involved in studying Burmese pythons are lying? Are in it only for the money? or to keep you from owning pets? And that none of them know anything about herps?
