Make sure you thoroughly stune the beeber of anyone you then swallow whole....I always say.
You could explode. Does make the case for being slightly prepared for pythons and alligators coming up your lawn, eating each other, homeowners included, during a high water "event,"....and having an simple and traditional mechanical instrument with which to perhaps forestall one's own food-chain thrillride at that particular moment, 'er somethin...don't it. 12 ga. One call does it all. Even once is better than lots less.

..especially if we are to now suspect that our reptiles and amphibians are exploding, possibly from within eachother. For Triffids, Pods, and other invading alien species, even the Crawling Eye, and creature from the Black Lagoon....and of course those common giant radioactice crabs from the beach cave.....my Wal-Mart associate assures me that the 12 ga. is a great choice, considering. "So daddy killed the giant snake, and then a 6 foot alligator tore his way out of it, and ate Fi-Fi." No, really. [Note: thread now returned to rightful owners. Muttly back under porch.]

Carrying a combat shotgun is hard work. I have a high water event at my place in the Everglades right now. Fish are swimming through what was once lawn. Panther are raising their young alongside my place, and my newest concern is whether the 11 foot gator is large enough to kill off any pythons in my pond.

Bad news is the big gator seems to be missing.

And I am getting tired of having to keep a Redhawk on my belt all the time.

Note to Blue staters, a Redhawk isn't a bird. I once had falcons; trust me when I tell you it isn't a bird.
