Too bad the legislators did not come to their senses before the death of the 2 year old in Florida, always too little too late. But there is a small grain of hope to save the biodiversity of the Florida everglades so Cal, this news is not too discouraging.

They really need to just need to outlaw ALL exotics!
Granted I have an exotic tortise,but i got him years ago before I truly understood the problems that are happening withe varies introduction of such species into our enviroments.
ZFlorida's problem with exotic pythons and constrictors is completely out of control.Destroying native wild life and endangering human beings.Just like the effects of th King toad.
These forgien animals cause such horrible destruction to our native spheres.
Outlaw exotics immedately!
