@brianjohnston6907 your claims are based off of absolutely nothing. Are you comprehending what I’m saying? I’m saying their numbers are below 5000, this does not mean you can’t count up to 1500 individuals, which you haven’t even done that, you’re basing your claims off of absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, been to those places many times, but that doesn’t mean anything when there are teams of people spending their entire lives work on these animals, you have NOTHING that goes against their findings and statistics. Nothing, you have absolutely nothing to prove them wrong and you right. Nothing at all, NOTHING! Are you getting the the point that you have nothing to prove your claims?
If you’re so much more credible than anyone else, let’s see YOUR field research, and studies, and tagged crocodiles, what’s that? You don’t have any? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Meanwhile we have actual professionals giving us information based on the hundreds and even thousands they see and tag, giving us an accurate estimation of their population. But I guess since the locals named one Fred that means the experts are wrong? Don’t break an ankle getting off that high horse now.
Do you even realize I’m talking about American CROCODILES and NOT American ALLIGATORS?

Your whole comment is full of false information. First of all, there is absolutely no possible way they could range out of Florida, they are extremely limited to SOUTH Florida. Each year, dozens of pythons are found dead from the cold even in south Florida, at 50 degrees. When it’s 50 in S FL and they are dying, they have no chance of surviving in N FL where it gets in the 20’s. They have tried, and failed to expand their range. Second, this invasion has nothing to do with irresponsible people releasing their pets, the reason they are here is because of hurricane andrew destroying a facility, of which 900 of them were not accounted for after the building was destroyed. Third, it’s highly unlikely that other snakes will become invasive. Boa constrictors, while having a small breeding population, are not invasive and are not thriving in Florida. Mambas, cobras and vipers would find it even more difficult, as most of them are from Asia and Africa, where it is much more hot and humid. A mamba couldn’t become invasive, it’s environmental requirements are not met in Florida. Fourth, there aren’t many people illegally obtaining venomous snakes, as FWC is very tight here, especially about imported animals, and no reputable breeder will sell to someone without permits.
Back to the pythons, not even GA is a suitable environment, they will get a respiratory infection before they die of her cold. Yet it’s being said they could survive in TENNESSEE, wow.
That all being said, I am a reptile enthusiast who lives in Florida, not just some random. I know what I’m talking about.

@markpashia7067 nowadays Burmese pythons are banned to the public, as well as a lot of species. But they are going too far, doing blanket bans on animals they shouldn’t be, and on ones that aren’t even invasive.
Things like ball pythons, leopard geckos, bearded dragons etc are going to be banned by FWC, simply because they have a chance to survive short term in Florida, they can’t even become invasive yet they will be banned simply because they are exotics. In fact, everything except dogs, cats, natives and basic farm animals are trying to be banned by FWC, for no particular reason other than because they MIGHT survive here.
Funny enough though, cats are much more damaging than any other invasive in the world, and they get a pass because they are cute and cuddly
