Jeff, I can see how the Burm could be a good sorce of population control for Racoons and Gators. You got a good point thare. I know that the South FL climate is somwhat sutable for the Burm to reproduce. I wonder if the population could become as bad as the population of Brown Tree Snakes did on the Island Guam (I hope that spelling is right "LOL") lets hope that the population stays at a small level, or even that they die off by natural couses (no harm intended by that statment) just think if they start breeding in high numbers what the population could do in the matter of 20 years. We all know that a female Burm can lay around 30-40 eggs in one clutch and im sure at least 5-8 of those babies would survive to adulthood, so think of how many babies could survive. Lord lets hope this dont turn into a pest problem.........Happy hering Wally

What about the caiman population in Florida? Maybe they are no competition for the gators but what if they live in close proximity with the Crocodilus acutus? The american crocs have enough as a bad time as it is. Do they need exotic caimans to have even more competition ? Also, what about the iguanas in Florida ? And the Laceerta viridis(from Europe)
? And lots more wild exotic stuff? Isn`t anybody taking any measures ? Alex S.

I grew up in s. Florida and as a kid remember taking evening walks and finding all kinds of cool creatures like green tree frogs. Now days the bufo toad rules because of it's introduction in an effort to curb the insect population. In the last few years I lived down there I never found the green tree frogs, only the bufos. Apparently they consume anything that moves and that will fit in their large stomachs. Hopefully the burmese will not become a nuisance like the bufo.
