My Dad gave me an article from the April 20 edition of the New Yorker.
Burkhard Bilger, The Natural World, Swamp Things, The New Yorker, April 20, 2009, p. 80
It mentions HR669 and how it won't pass because of the size of the pet industry (which turned out to be correct.)
This article is fascinating. It talks mostly about the feral Burmese Pythons in the Everglades; as well as Water Monitors. I highly recommend it to all you "big fish" keepers as well. It talks about the Peacock Bass in Florida, and how it was a positive addition to the state.
