Hey again Tom --

Yes, I'm still exhausted! I got 2 hours' sleep Friday night, then spent a total of 9 hours on the road, and the rest of the day walking all over the place and talking to lots of people, then came home and spent a couple hours taking care of critters before I crashed, then got back up at 3 this morning to finish taking care of critters before I crashed again. Fun and interesting and educational, but I'm worn out!

At this point in the discussion, I don't have major arguments with anything you've said. I don't know enough about the details of the problem to have a firm grasp on whether an international ban will be likely to help or not, I don't know enough about costs to have a firm grasp on how much increased enforcement of current FL laws would cost, I don't know enough about the history of bounties to know how effective they would be likely to be, and so on. I simply don't know enough about the subject to have an entrenched opinion one way or the other.

And no, I didn't leave pythons along the side of the road on my trip. I did transport several critters, but unfortunately they were coming home with me rather than going the other direction. I was at a poultry show! LOL!
