ANYWAYS, back to the actual discussion: I'm going to my first expo in June and I'm hoping so badly there's old world colubrids for me to drool over. I highly doubt it, since I live far away from any major breeders of that sort, but one can dream!
You are justifying a mass murder against an animal race. a gorgeous animal that sets on the top of the food chain. Do you know what I would have done if I was living in Florida? As a decent human being who knows that the earth does not belong only to humans, I would certainly have reacted to the brutal murdering of the wild Burmese pythons and other large constrictors in starting a breeding project of Burmese, retics, yellow anacondas and other large constrictors who would fit good in Florida,s environment, just to release the offsprings into the wild in Florida. This should be the answer of every snake loving human being
