It had a 76 lb deer inside it.

Maybe just a bit of indigestion?

some dipshit thought it would be cool to keep it as a pet and then let it loose.

Whoa! I just looked at the photo of the thing draped across the airboat...that's one heck of a snake.

It probably started out as some druggie's little neck-python. Constrictors were all the rage among a certain segment (in New York, the dudes would strut along the streets with bling, babes [euphemism] and the handy neck-boa) and then I guess it got too hard to send out the babes [euphemism] to buy the mice for the neck-boa. So they'd drop it off anywhere handy.

In New York, these things generally died in the winter, but in Florida, they're doing just fine, thank you.

But it’s cool! As long as it doesn’t eat me. America, land of the tattooed, pierced freaks. It’s our right to be a hazard to everyone and everything!

State efforts to control the spread will never be successful. The only way to eradicate these bastards is to put a bounty on them and let the public do the job.

And they say, “everything’s bigger in Texas”.

Sixteen feet is not giant.

To be giant, it would have exceeded 19 feet
