its true that zoos do take unwanted/neglected animals, but its no excuse. once they take possession of an animal its thier responsibility to ensure proper care. if they dont have a cage large enough they shouldn't have the animal. I dont agree with animal righs activists. people who want to ban hunting, people who dont believe in eating animals ect. but this is different.If the zoo won't fix the problem(s) they should be exposed. speaking of animal rights, have any of you heard of people who want to give animals the right to file lawsuits? I heard that the other day and thought about how insane that would be.Another thing you may not be considering. Many "Zoo's" are dumping grounds for abused/neglected/unwanted animals. This may be a critter that was dumped on them.

dont get me started on those guys (obama and his dictatorship) can you imagine peta filing a lawsuit against you, on behalf of your tegu because you keep him locked in a cage!!!? YOU VIOLATED HIS" RIGHTS " BY KEEPING HIM IN A CAGE!? animals are considered property by law, and they should remain property. but speaking of abused animals your right. I had a couple die on me when i was a teenager because i didnt take the time to research the animal before i bought it. it does make you wonder, where are all the herps? alot are probably dying in captivity, or people are letting them loose in the U.S.You're thinking of Cass Sunstein, he's Obama's new Regulatory Czar.
i think theres no way a burmese could live up the east coast. its too cold in the winter.correct me if im wrong on this, but i dont think they can hybernate and survive cold temperatures.Just like the map of the proposed migration of burmese pythons out of the Everglades. I mean all the way up the East Coast?
