you know if FL had actually enforced their permit laws and pet shops weren't out to just make a quick buck and educated people they never would have had this issue in the first place.....anyone who has wanted to go into the everglades to remove these animals has been told no by FL.....there are other options besides shooting every animal they just want an easy way out. Just so it's known reptiles are not their only issue the african pouched rat is an issue too
