Do you agree with the large python ban that takes effect March 23, 2012

	Yes. There are too many large pythons loose in Florida's Everglades
	Yes. Invasive pythons can wreak havoc on native wildlife
	No. This ban won't matter much because there are already an abundant number of large pythons that are captive bred
	No. This is America and we should be free to breed and sell these snakes where we want to

Answer: The matamata (Chelus fimbriatus) inhabits slow moving, blackwater streams, pools, marshes and swamps in its range of northern Bolivia, eastern Peru, Ecuador, eastern Colombia, Venezuela, both Guianas and northcentral Brazil. The matamata is strictly an aquatic species, but prefers standing in shallow water where its snout can reach the surface to breath. The matamata's oblong ridged carapace can measure up to 18 inches as an adult. The full adult weight is around 30 pounds. The face and neck are lined with fleshy tubercules that hang from the turtle making it look very much like floating leaf debris in the water. It's crazy looking, but beautiful!
