Of course the reason for not banning retics and boas is money. Everyone knows that burms dont represent much money any more, rock pythons never represented any money and anacondas dont represent any money which brings me back to my question on the other thread. How did usark save 4 out of 9? They didnt. The hsus dictated what they would allow and what they wouldnt. I understand the threat of a non native evasive species and things need to be done to protect the glades. But this is a florida problem and will always be a south florida problem only. These snakes cant survive anywhere else. So the easiest solution would be make breeders and and serious herpers apply for permits in florida. Then go and hunt the animals that are loose. Done. But to make this a country wide ban is just rediculous.
