Horne, George. "Prohibiting Pythons As Pets." FDCH Congressional Testimony. 6 November 2009. Congressional Testimony

The testimony goes over how many of the larger constrictor species shouldn't be allowed for sale in Florida. It goes over limitations on species of constrictor snakes listed as medium or high risk invasion potential, as well as risks to wildlife and people. It also discusses the physical and ecological damages caused by giant constrictors.

I like the source because it shows just how dangerous a wild animal can be when not tamed. Tame animals can make good pets, but I'm glad that it states that not all pets should be taken lightly.

Hill Jeffery, Assistant Professor University of Florida. "Threats to Native Wildlife." FDCH Congressional Testimony. 8 August 2009. Congressional Testimony

This goes over the threats to Florida's native wildlife by invasive species and suggests solutions. It discusses what the difference between non-native and invasive, gives examples of invasive and non-native species, and solutions to problems with past efforts to solve the predicament.

I like how it comes up with different solutions as well as examples for different species. I also like how it disscusses with a solution other than eradication.
