This type of thing really grinds my gears more then some other examples of the government royally "screwing the pooch" so to speak because of how little legitimate research was done on the government's part before making this decision. There's no valid scientific reason for them to ban these snakes outside of southern Florida; they are completely unable to survive the harsh winters in the most, if not all, of the other states.
 
Hello; Not that it is evidence or that the experience of other species necessarily applies to the snakes in question, but it was thought that cold climates would stop the spread of fire ants and the africanized bees (killer bees). It turns out that these two problem species have in their make up the ability to cope with cold winter weather. It is my understanding that the ancestors of most species endured varying climate changes thru their long histories. Adaptation is a strong survival element for living things. I seem to recall, but cannot verify, that there was recent indications that the pythons already established in the wild in Florida are able to handle cold temperatures better than previously thought.

No, the reports published by the government on the cold tolerance of these snakes has been found to be greatly exaggerated by legitimate scientists.

Hello; I cannot sign this based on the information given. The problem of invasive species is very serious across the country and the world. Many plant, fish, reptile and amphibious species from the home pet trade have become established in the wild causing problems. Some species listed may already be established in the wild in the US, so that it may already too late to close those particular "barn doors".
For the species not already established in the wild some sort of restriction seems proper.
Please clairfy you position about why these potentially damaging species should not be restricted??

None should be on a gov level. You OBVIOUSLY are reading the gov propoganda instead of taking the time to research for yourself. The species in question can NOT live past southern florida but thanks to FALSE studys done by .gov they said it could live the entire way up to DC. BULL.

The burms that are in the everglades came from a zoo destroyed in a hurricaine. So how would banning personal ownership help??
