wonder if herpers are going to get the blame for this one.

Found this story and thought it was a bit interesting, but worrysome for herpers. Wonder if we are going to get the blame.

I saw that. Fortunately, it explains that the frogs came to the US in boxes of fruit or something, and not some pet owner releasing exotic animals.

That's just the tip of the iceburg.. There are dozens of non native species reeking Havoc in Florida.. It's like anything tropcial that gets introduced thrives.
