>>Scott Hardin, the FWC's exotic species coordinator, said half of South Florida's python population might have died in the recent cold weather.

Hopefully I'm not being unclear, but you are completely missing the point. If the results are not in yet, then starting the process of getting the pythons listed under the Lacey Act is both unscientific and unethical, imo. The justification they've been using for the legislation is that burms can survive in areas north of south Florida, even as far north as Washington DC and Ohio. And on top of that, as you mentioned, it's common knowledge now that a large percentage of pythons died during the cold snap. So how can anyone justify the DOI starting the process without even having the results yet???
