I dont know perhaps I am wrong, but all invasive species should be eradicated. I am all for our rights to own these animals, but we have to be responsible. It is no different than invasive hogs, nutria, ect.... Now that being said, I am curious why we continue to import burms, we have imported them to the point of threatening wild native populations. I would suggest that adults that are found be euthanized, gravid females be allowed to lay and wild laid clutches harvested to fill the need of wild caught or import burms.... It would keep us going, help deal with the invasive species, and help the native populations recoop. Yes we may have fewer cheap babies to fill pet stores, but that will actually help breeders, and the market. Supply and demand there is the same demand and half the supply, guess what your captive hatched normals will be worth 2-3 times what they are now in a few short years
I by no means have an answer to this problem, but have been doing a good bit of research on it. I know it sucks, I hate the idea of it but the invasive species (even the ones we like) need to be removed
