South FL: Any interest in going herping in the Everglades?

if this happens i hope you guys take a video camera so we can see the real truth to the burm/boa myth. also if you do see some remove them, unless it would be too risky

from what im told its like $200 fine and they take the snake and kill them.

I wish I could go, I can't find my goshdarn snake boots! I think I left them in NC :taz:

Cool deal. Let me get the logistics down this time around and then I'll put up something in Events, so keep an eye out for it next week.

Hey, you won't even have to cross the state to go with us if you're still in Tampa, just go south (look up a tiny little city called Jerome, should be SR29) :D

We won't be taking any snakes, but what's this burm/boa myth? There are, without a doubt, Burmese pythons out in the Everglades, though I've only seen them in the southern parts (the national park by Florida City). I have a picture of me next to a gator that had a dead Burm in its mouth. It's on my old hard drive and I can't access it yet, though.

So... get another pair :D I know, they ain't too cheap, but they'll be put to good use by the time summer rolls around.

I would definately be down for this, unfortunately I have back sugery coming up in a few weeks. After may I should be able.
