That gives new meaning to the phrase 'selling oneself on the streets of Sydney'.

Well it was a totally spurious example, for the reason I have explained... if you want to use examples, at least make them relevant.
And I don't know you well enough for you to call me buddy... addy.

They work the streets?They weren't 'seen' in Kingscross were they?
They can adapt their USE of the environment to avoid adapting their own physiological traits and characteristics
WHAT ON EARTH DOES THAT MEAN?

Addy - you need to understand that mammals are far more adaptable than reptiles - for obvious reasons... that's why your example was totally irrelevant... Please indicate if you have examples of any tropical reptiles naturalising in temperate areas... that would give you more credibilty

I understand the diffrence in mamals and reptiles thank you very much. That wasn't up for debate.
I don't think you do... and I think it was lol!
And Jen - yes, the first wave of "Green Nomads" is coming up the Pacific Hwy as we speak - they don't even need caravans, they just curl up on the roof racks wherever they camp for the night...

One other thing - Burmese are largely terrestrial as adults, and they DO mostly live on the ground and within the shelter that the ground provides - caves, logs, burrows and other areas of relatively stable temps. GTPs are usually exposed on branches, even in thickets, so are far more likely to be detrimentally affected by unusual temperature variations. They are also far smaller (less mass) so will be subject to significantly more influence from ambient temps... Burmese python adult - 100kg+... GTP adult - 1.5kg... you do the math...

As for my knowledge on reptiles and mamals i can prepare you an entire essay in my own words if you like.
Not sure if I would understand it addy - at least not at this time of night...
And I DID like the conversation, else I wouldn't have wasted a night of my life discussing this ridiculous nonsense... seeing how far the "want - to - believe -it" crowd is prepared to stretch and modify the parameters of a very implausible proposal, when confronted with legitimate and informed challenge...
