Hey Katrina,

Point taken, but I for one won't assume that these snakes can't or won't adapt.

While it's certainly useful to base opinions on existing information, there are other considerations at work, not the least of which is the extensive man-made environment in this country that exotics can utilize to their advantage.

While large constrictors may thrive in comparatively narrow range of circumstances in their natural habitat, we have infrastructure here that may well provide them with the means to survive and possibly even thrive here too.

Be skeptical but open to discovery.
