Hi,
I appreciate that you are trying to start a discusion.
But we had that discussion many, many times when this was first proposed. Your side lost.
I would do a search for the previous discusions and see what was said to prevent everyone just repeating themselves. This is an idiotic, vindictive, kneejerk reaction to a stable door that was opened by the wind years ago.
I am puzzled how you expect anyone to show you undocumented evidence of snakes being released however?
I get that lack of evidence is not evidence of lack but to ask for proof of the unproven section is almost zen.
There were genetic studies done on the snakes recovered from the everglades which supported the hurricane hypothesis and found no evidence of repeated infusions of fresh genes - something that would be expected if these were all released pets over many years.
As for not thinking people can, or should, keep some of these species this isn't the best website for finding examples - monstersnakes.com might be better for example.
