The story and the comments are just sickening.

I hate how misinformed and hateful people are about reptiles. Even when you give them information with sources they just don't care.
We do have lots of invasive species and they can survive in S Florida. Some retics did get loose during a hurricane, it is blown out of proportion with politicians using it for a platform. The old stuffy people do much more damage with houses being built in swamps and pesticides on their perfect lawns rather than the retics. The iguana, monitors, tegu's, all have invaded. There are some rare crocodilians by Miami airport too. I personally think he bought it and used it for a publicity stunt as has happened before. Lots of big time snake lovers down here we support 12 repticons with large attendances so please ignore the politicians "most of them are from other states" and do not cut us off LOL
