Ball Pythons are going to become extinct because of loss of habitat, not because of not having enough founding stock to repopulate the wild.

Also, ANY ecologist will tell you that its a biological no-no to introduce even animals of the SAME species into new areas as little as a few miles away. This puts a halting stop to ANY CB Ball Pythons as being valid candidates for re-introduction into the wild. Its why every single nature book tells you to release an amimal EXACLTY where you found it. Human-made gene drift is a BAD thing.
