It was only a matter of time before these things showed up in FL... Like the Burmese Pythons they won’t be able to get rid of them.
Stay away from the water. :-)

I’m sure glad that rattlesnakes don’t get that big!

I wonder if you can eat these.

In any case, this snake would make a stylin' pair of cowboy boots.

Gad. I’ve been to Florida and I’m sorry, I think it’s scary down there. Alligators, snakes, and I live in AZ where suppposedly we’re scary but nothing shows up in our lakes like that!

If the invasive tropical species go dormant during cold weather, they certainly become easier prey. I wonder at what temperatures they are killed outright?

If I had seen this snake first he WOULD be a pair of boots now.

Not sure, I’m always amazed at the range of the Alligator, N. Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, it does get cold.

A couple more snakes this size and you could make one of them Michelle Obama belts.

I love both places and live in Wisconsin. The scariest thing we have around here is Russ Feingold! We’re ehading down to AZ in a few weeks for spring training. Been a few years since we did that and I cannot wait!

an anaconda’s eyes and nose would stick up over above the water

aka--Everything but the eyes and nose would hide down under submerged below beneath lower than the water's surface.
