Kingmilk,
Hi. I don't know where to begin, but I must insist that you seem to have the process all backwards. When some new "thing" pops up (in herpetology or otherwise), the burden of proof rests squarely on the shoulders of the person making the claim, not on the establishment or status quo. Certainly just having one in one's possession doesn't meet the burden of proof. What's to say it isn't an escaped or released pet?
I happen to know K.E. in person and I respect him as a "field herper" but he is not a papered Herpetologist. Until a proper case has been made and someone with the proper academic credentials substantiates K.E.'s claim, they have to remain just that (unsubstantiated claims)----and shouldn't be stated as fact in my humble opinion.
Thanks for your interest in my views. I hope I have adequately explained them.
Regards,
S.B. O'Gill
