I wasn't trying to say that invasive species are good and should be shown in a positive light. What I was trying to say was most of the news casts about Florida and the problem show the entire industry very negatively. I live in Wisconsin, if any of my ball pythons got out side there would be zero chance of them surviving winter and becoming a real problem. Most of the news casts make it seem like what is happening in Florida can happen anywhere.
