They caught a python in Pensacola about ten years ago and gave it back to the guy who owned it. About a month later it got loose again. They entered his house and found out that he had cobras. That’s all we need. A bunch of King Cobras crawling around Florida.

Does anyone know how far the Pythons can go and get to such sizes in the wild? Georgia? Texas? Arizona, California?

They get about 15% bigger and meaner with each further state west you go.

Great... a snake in Fla that eats alligators?! I wonder how the spandex wearing, pointy helmet greeny bike riders are going to react to one of these things?... Pepper spray? :-)

They bypass Louisiana for fear of being mugged and eaten.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer state.....having said that, there is not a measuring device devised by man that could measure the decibels coming out of my mouth if I came upon one of those.

Excuse me! But, aren’t these African American rock pythons?

No, because they are in this country illegally.

What's "really scary" is that the new invaders only have to cross the road...

Easier said than done, just ask a squirrel.......
