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: Emperor Newts (Tylototriton shanjing) are highly toxic newts that inhabit the high mountain regions in the Yunnan Province of China. Emperor newts, also referred to as Mandarin newts, can be found in small streams and pools where they feed on worms and small invertebrates. Though highly toxic, emperor newts are gentle little creatures that never exude their poison unless grabbed violently. The skull of the emperor newt sports a thick bony ridge (crown) that protects them from predators. Emperor newts can often be found in captivity, and do very well in a semi-aquatic setup with soil, moss, water and rocks. They feed well on worms and crickets. All Hail the Emperor Newt!
