Just further proof that the GOP are reptilian and protecting their own.

As an avid fan of reptiles I've been following developments in the exotic pet trade for 15+ years.

This goes wayyyyy beyond burms and includes a number of venemous species that get released too.

Burms in particular are hearty animals that grow fast and give birth to dozens of young at a time.
An adult burm is going to be immune from any predator in the US south other than a large alligator.
They can overpower and kill an adult male.

I will support any measure that limits the threat of invasive species like this regardless of the party.

Name one other endangered species on the menu in Florida. You can't, because it's not an endangered species. Just admit you made a mistake. I've done it. It's not hard.

I made a mistake pointing out that the gator you mentioned is farm raised gator?
Okey-dokey, then its really wild raised gator, whatever you say.
Do you make a point of repeating yourself often?
You might want to look into that, ever hear of obsessive-compulsive disorder?
I understand that repeating oneself endlessly is a symptom.
