"It may be too late to stop the invasion of the Everglades," said Beth Preiss, director of the exotic pets campaign for The Humane Society of the United States. "But it's not too late to stop it in the rest of the country."
I live in a very 'high risk' area for "invasion" of these terryfying pythons. Once they make it to Georgia they're home free for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The habitat is perfect. There are plenty of "wading birds, small mammals and anything else they can squeeze to death" around here. I might just have to get an "anti-python" fence.
Although I am making light of it so many people are ignorant to the fact that pythons -in this case the Burmese- CANNOT survive in certain areas. We fear what we do not know, and all the negative hype about snakes "invading our country" isn't helping when plenty of people already view them as 'evil' creatures. i know I'm preaching to the choir on this one but harumph.
