It seems that so many ppl have let their pet pythons loose in the Everglades over the years and that they have colonized and now appear to be a danger. They have worked their way up the coast to the county below me and the University of Florida is working on how to control it. I have to watch for gators on walks with my grandson and I guess now I have to watch for pythons. They will eat a gator so we are screwed if we come across one. But it is upsetting the balance of nature here as they survive anywhere a gator lives and it looks like pythons might well scare the tourists off INDEED! I really don't think pythons are a good pet and if you do get one don't let it loose and upset the balance of nature. I hate snakes anyway.

I can't get that vision of that python eating that gator out of my head though.....ewwwwwww

This looks like a job for

Yeah right? Granny is seriously AFRAID!!!!!! And I am not afraid of much....but gators and snakes are high on my fear list. Can pythons climb to upper floors of condos. I am never leaving home again.
This is a serious new situation here. Well we have alligator hunting season now. Python skins make good exotic leather accessories. A new business oppurtunity in Florida.

i love reptiles but its an ecological disaster

INDEED! Responsible pet lovers are ok. Lots of ppl love reptiles. But it is not right to just let them loose in this environment here to colonize.
But granny likes to look at snakes at the zoo and not in my area of ambulating daily. I can't run fast NO MO! I hope pythons don't eat old ladies or baby boys.....but if you will eat a gator.....you will eat anything....

If somebody wants to cut and paste that pic it will gross you out.

Granny has to go to a tea dance and collect signature for legalization here in Florida from old geezer voters.... So much to do and so little time to do it. Now I gotta worry about PYTHONS!!!!!!

Have a good day my fellow tokers of the world......WEED LIBRE!!!!!!!!!!

Isnt that pic of the electrocuted python taken in south africa?

don't forget about all the wild iguana down there.... some are downright mean. Same case... pet owners just let them go and they love the tropical air down there.

Here's how you catch them.

You get a buddy & find their den.

Go get the snake allow it to bite you.

Your buddy pulls you out once the snake latches on.
I've seen them go feet first.

Go home & clean your dinner.
