Ok, stupid post....To many variables, true. I live in Florida and their is already a population of pythons, iguanas, monitors and other reptiles. Thats what made me think of this. Your right. It would be stupid to let any reptile out in Colorado and many other states. They would have no chance. But I know in Florida they would have a great chance to survive instead of not being fed in captivity.

Corvid, Maybe you took the appropriate precautions (like myself) becuase you obviously don't live off your reptile hobby like a many others. But how can you say someone that has a succusful bussiness that goes under due to a bill is irresposible??? You missed the point.

But anyway, everyone else,sorry. Stupid post. I have no shame.
