This is so dumb. What do you think is gonna happen when a hunter doesn't see a Burmese Python for days? He's gonna shoot native snakes.....that's what. BG doesn't care what they've supposedly been taught. They'll shoot any snake and say "It looked like a Burm to me".
Did you ever notice that people with no clue about snakes think every snake by the water is a Water Moccasin? Every snake that shakes it's tail is a Rattle snake. Every snake with any color is a Coral snake. Well now every big snake in the Everglades is gonna be a Burm. "Big" to the average person is 2 foot plus.
Because as reptile keepers, we always judge a group of people and wish for regulations dictated by looking at the worst ones of the group that don't behave in a responsible manner.
