I tend to agree with you Daniel, it doesn't matter at this point but it is important to at least attempt to try and make the point.... That it is very UNLIKELY these snakes are the result of intentional releases by pet owners.

The whole Andrew argument makes about as much sense as the intentional pet owner release story does,

I think to anybody who's been around the trade in South Florida in more then a casual sense, in their hearts they have to believe the true cause to be intentional seeding of the population by certain individuals. While nobody knows or will ever know for sure, the seeding theory makes the most sense. This has already been discussed publicity so Im not letting any cats out of the bag.
