Yah I saw that on CNN. Go to cnn.com and you can see the video story on the python invasion the everglades. Just not right to see a gigantic Burmese crusing the waters of florida :crazy:

It was on the news! There is another thread about this on Giant Python Forums by the way :)

Communist news network? lol, I'm just playin.

Yuk! Poor snake:(

I live about 5min from the everglades national park. When I was like 15 i can remeber my girl friend brother catching a very big burmese right by their house. They live by a state park called chikica, just incase some of you are familiar with the area.

... from trying to eat an Alligator. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9600151/

Time for a colossal 3-way thread merge hehehehe.

I'm sure this is old news but eally quite amazing - gruesome picture though:

Someone wanna merge this into the other thread? :D

4 way merge!


New record!

Moving now.

Oops - sorry :)

Nary a prob!

The video clip is going into my lesson plans for tomorrow. We're smack into the Ecology unit and have been discussing non native species wreaking havoc on their introduced ecosystems. Great point to make to the kids, be RESPONSIBLE pet owners! Do your research and buy later. :)

I just saw a picture. How disgusting.

Poor snake & alligator. :(

A friend of mine left a message on my machine; she'd bought 2 baby red ear slider turtles @ some garage sale she went to w/her daughter, & didn't realize that they'd be so much work. She asked me if I could take them (which I couldn't have). (She got extremely lucky; a friend of her ex's took them.)

I talked w/her online 2 nights ago, & gave her my "No impulse buying, especially when it comes to animals!" lecture. I gave her my own example; I did research for months before purchasing my ball python, as I felt that it's the responsible thing to do. I think she got the point. ;)

I saw this in the news the other day. So pet owners have been dumping burms in the eva glades. Hmm I wonder if we might see a floridian burmese python. just a thought
