Thanks for posting. I found this statement interesting:

"Either way, we'll never be able to tell because current populations are so genetically diverse."

Were there more DNA studies done on the Everglades pythons??? The only study I've seen contradicts this statement.

Or am I misunderstanding Mr. Gibbons statement??

That's one of the reasons I posted it. The ONLY study I've seen was the thesis from the FIU student that absolutely contradicts that statement. I'm beginning to lose credibility in Mr. Gibbons, as this isn't the first odd statement he's made.
