Actually it's a proven fact that those Burmese weren't released pets (as H$U$ & PETA want everyone to believe). The snakes have been DNA'd and are all very closely related......likely from a few who survived 1992's Hurricane Andrew when it flattened a wholesaler's facility. If pet snakes were being released at the rate the animal rights people are trying to lead us to believe, the DNA would be all over the place and it's not. Also, where are the feral populations of Burmese in Texas and Alabama and Georgia and Mississippi and South Carolina....etc., or are Floridians the only irresponsible snake keepers in the USA who release unwanted pets? Ninety percent of Burmese bred today are designer colors, yet every snake found in the wild are normal colored Burmese..... It really gripes me that incorrect information is released to the public and, unless people like snakes, they're going to believe every single lie such as: "Burmese have no natural predators in ENP"....Untrue....when a baby snake hatches everything and its brother is waiting to eat it....birds, fish, alligators, 'coons, possums, other snakes, etc.
I could go on and on, but I'm gonna step down off the soap box now.
