Anyone here run across any info on that possible nightmare?

I don't know about breeding populations but I have read of several species of venomous foreign snakes that have been captured around the Miami area. It seems people can make money smuggling and selling venomous snakes to people who aren't qualified to have them. Rather than get pinched with an unregistered venomous snake, they ditch them. The scariest I heard of was a Gaboon Viper that was caught by animal control.

There was a bit about this snake on some Animal Planet show. 3" fangs! I would not want to run across one of those!
