I think that guy in NYC has about as much chance to find Burmese pythons in the sewers of New York City as I do up here in Canada. Only place I see Burmese pythons here, are at reptile shows, the local reptile zoo and people's houses (well, actually I haven't seen any in people's houses..as its against the by-laws to keep them within the city...unless they had it long enough to have had a chance to get it grandfathered when the new exotics by-law came into effect 8 years ago).

I did find a dead red ear slider though...in the wild near where I live...not sure exactly how it died...if it just dumped in the middle of winter or too early in the spring for it to survive the next cold snap..but either way, it was dead and partially eaten (by scavengers from the look of it). Definitely wish I knew who had dumped that turtle, even if it didn't pose a threat up here...no way to treat a living creature...makes me wish I could dump the person responsible somewhere out in the middle of the tundra up north. Feed the starving polar bears.
