That "surfguy" (first comment) is a real tool without a clue. And comment #10 by Topspin shows some serious misinformation. A 12 foot burm would be lucky to be a threat to a loaf of bread, let alone a toddler or fully grown human. Irresponsible owners are not even vaguely representative of the rest of us.
I think we need to email NJOnline and give them the REAL facts about reptile keeping and the burm problem in Florida. We don't need this nonsense floating around as fact.
