The python ban is completely unnecessary. There trying to fix a problem that nature itself is fixing and nature itself has made impossible for it to spread into other parts of our country. These animals lack the survival any where other then south florida. Take a moment and look at every other invasive species down there and what they are doing take a look at stray cats they are wreaking havoc on the ENTIRE country not just a section of florida but nothing is done because they are not big scary snakes. Cats also kill for fun not just to eat they like to stalk prey items and enjoy playing with them until they kill them. Florida had already taken steps to fix this situation it was a local problem and should of stayed a local problem. But with elections coming up they needed something to boost some votes for them. Even if there not banned as pets (YET) we still have lost the right to import new morphs/New Blood lines to mix with our animals. Most Burmese python morphs are a recessive trait so when imported they were all bred back to each other so at one point or another it would be nice to mix it up a little with some new blood. I mean pretty much every labyrinth in the country right now I believe are all related to bobs original pair. I could go on and on about this but at the end of the day its just politics we need less government in the private sector they have better things they could be doing for this country then wasting time and money on this.
