Ball Pythons would be a poor example of your argument. MANY crazy mutations could live in the wild. First off, Python regius is big time nocturnal. Albinos and such could and would survive! Secondly, they can also handle the sun almost as well as a normal since they may not exactly be seeing long term sun exposure (nocturnal). ALbinos such as Albino Water monitors can live in the wild and we are talking a sun worshipping lizard.

As far as reintroduction of Ball Pythons we could do it but have no present need. We understand so much more about this species since we have basically worked out many of the kinks in their care. There are however species that justify reintroduction. Let's say Pinesnakes in some of their former haunts. The first thing is to utilize a reptile breeder and their knowledge on breeding colubrids/pinesnakes. Let's say Bart Bruno, an expert in my book! His knowledge and understanding far exceeds any biologist studying them and he would be the BEST way to create and maintain animals for release. His experience is quite valuable since his original drive was based on his love for the species. The true experts at the keeping and breeding of reptiles most likely lies in the private sector. People that love the species and learn many of the animal's secrets are the key.

NOT THE BIOLOGIST that may be the ones trying to reintroduce them back into the wild.

There are endless points to why keeping and breeding reptiles is GOOD, and far less that are negative!

Having retarded politicians talk about the keeping and breeding of reptiles is like listening to a first grader sucking his thumb and explaining quantum physics! They don't understand why we even like animals!!! Let them explain why so many of them are corrupt and why they want to make so much money. How can they justify that they are worth their weight in HorseSheet?

This country is suffering from these stuffed shirts...

GRrrr.......
