WFTV (Orlando, Florida) 16 December 09 Reptile Owners Offer Reward For Snake-Releaser
Tampa, Fl: Dozens of reptile owners have come together to stop a python releaser in Tampa.
They are offering a $18,400 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for releasing a 12-foot Burmese python a week ago.
With increased public awareness of pythons, many owners are concerned that the public's image of them is inaccurate.
Michael Cole operates Ballroom Pythons South in Central Florida. He says most reptile owners are very responsible and hopes to end the negative publicity.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission extended the python hunt program to a year-round effort starting in January. It's to help eradicate giant, nonnative Burmese pythons from South Florida.
