About 20 years ago,keeping large,non native snakes was almost outlawed. I actually signed a petition to do so since they would be an environmental diaster. Add to that snake keepers who live feed whatever they can find like free kittens/puppies to good home,etc. .Of course the snake breeders raised such a ruckus,nothing happened..When said snakes get too big to control,they are released into the wilds of America..Snake breeders 1,wildlife 0.
Too bad people's minds were clouded with the thoughts of $$$ rather than thinking of what could go wrong,with AU being the poster child of what can go wrong with the cain toad.
