We’re doomed, Norm. Doomed I tell you.

Giant pythons capable of swallowing a dog and even an alligator
are rapidly making south Florida their home, potentially
threatening other southeastern states, a study said. Br> (AFP/File/Gabriel Bouys)

Giant pythons capable of swallowing a dog and even an alligator

Baby gators.

[AprilfromTexas]

At least they are bigger than our water moccasins, therefore easier to see and shoot with a 20 gauge.

Anybody know a good recipe?

[Mark]

Put them on the Endangered Species list NOW!!!

[HerrBlucher]

Just don’t get into an argument with one!

MMMmmmm....

Nothing like fresh grilled python.

[Jeff Chandler]

Not to worry. They are the natural prey of Killer Bees. At least the Killer Bees that survive attacks from Fire Ants.

Yer gonna love this *new* doomsday scenario ... not only are ya paying $4 gallon for gas and have to deal with Crocodiles and mowing that kevlar-reinforced grass all the time in FL, but now there's a bunch of Python's hogging up doomsday also !!!

Oh Auntie Em, Auntie Em ... its a TWISTER, its a TWISTER !!!

I hope that we get a couple of those Floridian-winter 3-day freezes that Floridians dread for the orange crops.

That should wipe out the python population, enough that the ingenious king snakes can take care of it ( I hope ).

[LeoWindhorse]

a new industry : Python skin wallets and purses and cowboy boots
They look great and last a long time

The Snake

[ThomasThomas]

Kind of glad to live here in SoCal. Chaparral where I live for those who know the difference between it and a desert.

But the pythons will assimilate (sarc)

[Tired of Taxes]

Time to start python hunting!

[primeval patriot]

Florida should put a fifty-dollar bounty on each snake.

For only 1.5 million dollars the problem is solved or at least managed for a supposed thirty-thousand feral pythons.

But then there’s the State and Federal apparatus that would have to administer and oversee the bounty (multiply taxpayer costs times 100)

Oh well nice thought anyways.

Mazzotti said the serpents, despite their awesome size, are not poisonous, but are excellent swimmers and able to cover great distances in little time. Some, trapped and released with radio transmitters, swam 60 kilometers (37 miles) in a few hours.
