First I nor anyone I know condones releasing non-native Flora or Fauna into the wilds of any place, especially my home state Florida. That being said there's a blissful ignorance that exists in the media and how the story is told. Why is it that all non-native species will have a huge negative impact on the Florida environment..? Sure there's degrees but not all are going to cause major change considering reptiles are seldom a pest species. Most reptiles even the smallest ones are top tier predator's who usually don't reach the numbers to be considered pest. But the most important fact is never discussed, the fact that South Florida and Florida as a whole is not conducive to reptiles from equatorial tropical regions. The place around the world where most reptiles come from and fortunately Southern Florida is to far north and that has a huge impact on reptile viability. Will some exist..? Yes but barely and will they cause the huge amount of damage all the doom and gloom crowd says will happen...I doubt it. In the end all the whoop ala has little to do with protecting the Flora and Fauna of South Florida but has more to do with maintaining a power base and the benefits that follow. Sorry for being so long but enough is enough. Andrew
