It would make a nice candidate for guarding FL ballots.

Damn that’s big...I”ve seen some really big ones too. My daughter owns a big reptile shop in the NW.

Reptile sales are HOT! It’s a big new thing.

Its parents is from the Swamp in Washington D.C.

Congress is very full of them of all types and sizes but in deceptively humanoid forms and with human names.
They go by names like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Peloski, John Roberts, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan. Practically all the Democrats are snakes of the deadliest types.

Do they get paid by the pound or by the foot when they bring in a python?

Inquiring minds want to know.

That is 18 feet longer than the acceptable length.

Did it smell like pepper spray and have little bells in it’s stomach?

“It’s believed they became established in Florida as a result of escaped or released pets “

No.

Hurricane Andrew wiped out a reptile facility and that’s where they came from.

He must have cut the snake’s head off to kill it.
As most of you know, a cut off snake’s head can still bite
you after it has been removed from the body.
Some kind of reptilian reflex.

Not really.

The snakes are not what is decimating the glades.

Rampant development, back filling the swamp for housing tracts and the massive pollution from “big sugar” is what’s killing it.

But all of those things are wanted and acceptable.

The snakes are scapegoats.

People on the ground say they’re dying off naturally due to unusually cold temps in FL.

But whatever...”snakes are evil” so they make good scapegoats.

No one seems to care about all the non-native iguanas, monitors, tegus, birds and feral cats messing things up.

It still has its head.

I think they pith them, which is the only way to instantly and humanely kill them.
