Captured and killed in Florida, juvenile Burmese pythons (left), a young African rock python (center), and a larger African rock python lay coiled on a tray in a Unversity of Florida laboratory in late August 2009.

A nearly fifty foot python was caught in Indonesia and is now in captivity. They feed it dogs.

We have a bounty / hunting process down here for em and are doing pretty good at it. Problem is the Federal Lands prohibit killing them and the Federal Lands are BIG.

So they have a federal protection to reproduce in droves.

Florida. Strange place.

Regarding Indonesians feeding dogs to snakes, Asian countries are very sick and depraved, and I wouldn’t mind one bit if a huge typhoon and/or tsunami wiped them all out.

BTW, my wife is half-Japanese (Japan being probably the best of the sick bunch)and she agrees.

Us humans are pretty good at exterminating species if money is involved. So way doesn’t the gov’t institute a bounty for every one of these pythons killed.
