I seriously hope you were trying to quote one of the comments on the article because this is not a good site to make those kind of comments. As a community we support responsible ownership and care. These animals are not native to the Everglades and just because they are there it shouldn't be grounds for infringing on people rights to own these animals responsibly. My 18in Kenyan Sand Boa is considered an exotic pet, but how dangerous is he really. His bites are like paper cuts. I understand this is an extremely different case, but he is still categorized as an exotic animal and according to that statement I shouldn't be allowed to have him.
