THE WORST PART OF THIS IS THAT A SO CALLED ESTEEMED SCIENTIST IS DIRECTING POLICY MAKING BY USFWS BY PUBLISHING A MAP THAT HAS THE SAME VALUE AS TOILET PAPER. EVERY HERPER INCLUDING MOST NEWBIES EVEN KNEW THAT THIS MAP WAS RIDICULOUS. THE REAL PRO'S JAWS HIT THE GROUND AT EVEN THE SUGGESTION OF THEM LIVING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. MOST OF US INCLUDING ME ARE NOT PHD'S. I'M IN FACT A SECOND YEAR COLLEGE DROP OUT BUT I HAVE FORGOT MORE ABOUT HERPS THAN RODDA AND ALL HIS BUDDIES WILL EVER KNOW. EVERYONE KNEW THEY COULDN'T SURVIVE ANYWHERE BUT IN THE GLADES AND EVEN THEN WITH A GREAT DIFFICULTY. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO REAL SCIENCE BY LEARNED REAL SCIENTIST? IF ANY ONE OF THEM HAD EVER KEPT A BURMESE PYTHON THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THEY CAN NOT TAKE COLD TEMPS. NEVER HAVE-NEVER WILL. THE "NEW AMERICA" AND IT'S BASTION OF SCIENCE MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. I ALMOST PURSUED ACADEMIA AND HAD THEIR BEEN JOBS IN THAT TIME I WOULD HAVE. FOR ONE I'M ASHAMED OF THE LIKES OF RODDA, REED, DORKAS, AND OTHER MORONIC PUPPETS. NOT ONE OF US WOULD NEED TO WASTE THE TAXPAYERS MONEY TO SEE IF A BURMESE COULD LIVE OUTSIDE IN SOUTH CAROLINA EVEN WITH MAN MADE REFUGES. MOST OF THESE PYTHON RESEARCHERS COULD SIMPLY ASK ME OR MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND WE COULD GIVE THEM MANY ANSWERS ON THEIR SUPPOSED EXPENSIVE RESEARCH WITHOUT SPENDING ONE RED CENT OF THE TAX PAYERS DOLLAR. I, FOR ONE, AM ASHAMED OF THESE PEOPLE. RAYMOND DITMARS MUST BE TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE. I'D BET THAT MOST OF THEM WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE WAS. IT'S A DAMN SHAME BUT TRUE!!!SORRY FOR THE RANT...
