Well, the snakes are eating a lot of critters. A friend had his female Burmese Python sneak off during one of our parties back in the ‘80s. Homestead area. The ‘Glades have taken a beating for a long time. The canals that criss-cross southern Florida were designed to drain off all of the rain. With it no longer flowing slowly through the ‘Glades, saltwater was allowed to work its way inland. About the only environmental success story I’ve heard out of the area is that American Crocodiles are apparently flourishing in the warm effluence of the Turkey Point Nuclear Power plant. When I was there in the 80s, the manatee liked to hang there in the winter.

And a lot of critters are eating the snakes.

Gators and crocs love them.

Smaller carnivores and birds eat the eggs and hatchlings.

Radioactive crocodiles is a disturbing image.

“It’s the Great Circle of Life”
