Giants in Florida

I have talked to Skip Snow a few times about the burm problem down here. It is illegal to catch them if they are on the federal portion of the everglades.

So that means that the Homestead population is legal to catch and sell. I guess I am heading down there next weekend, haha!

What happened was, one of those burmese pythons was hunting out in the everglades, and ate an adult alligator, because of the sheer size of it, the snake's stomach and whole body split apart, so there's this gnarly pic somewhere online of a half-digested alligator with a dead snake covering the other half of it- both dead of course.

That's the last thing I've head down here, everything else is about alligators eating someone's stupid dog or something

There was something fishy about the whole thing. IIRC the snake was discovered with no head. Although, somebody could have come along and taken the head for a souvenir.

I think that's just sad. Some people are so irresponsible.
