"Exotic animals that escape or set free pose a risk to native wildlife. Constricting snakes are a particular problem in West Virginia, Wyatt said.
Owners purchase them when they are small and manageable. But when they grow to full size, owners often can’t care for them or grow tired of them and let them loose. The constrictors, which can kill a full-size deer, have no local predators and often breed, she said."
That is a bunch of bull! I live in WV and I have never ever seen a large constrictor in the wild. I've never seen any non native small constrictors either! Who do they think they are trying to fool? It's sad that dumb ignorant rednecks will believe this crock! A boa or python let loose would die here before winter even came.
