My biggest concern is at the present moment every politician, the news media, and the general public believe that giant snakes may someday live near them in the wild BECAUSE of Rodda's paper, news stories, etc. Since MOST of what was reported was speculative at best it's time for them to simply report the truth. At this point they've had MORE than enough time to give another report at least that the snakes can NOT survive further north. This doesn't have to be in the form of a "peer reviewed" paper just a simple report of the known status of the Pythons that they've been tracking. This NEEDS to be done now because of the injurious decree that USFWS have presented as factual on the basis of Rodda's maps, reports, etc...
