17 foot Burmese python caught on the Everglades Necropsy
Anyone seen this? My wife found it today and I really appreciate her telling me about it. I was a bit sad seeing they were all dead but we all know they are an invasive species and these guys are just doing their job. It shows how majestic this beautiful animals are.

I believe that might be some of the problem, but If I remember correctly I thought a couple of breeders facilities got hit by a hurricane a while back, and a lot of snakes got loose as a result. I pretty sure you can google it, or another member might remember more. Sorry sick today and the meds ain’t helping. I believe it might have even been due to the way the breeders set the facilities up, construction wise that is. My 1.5 cents. Lmao

I recall that too, it was many years ago. I think some got established that way & other escapes plus intentional releases followed to compound the problem.
Majestic creatures but non-natives play havoc on our natives...sad they are killed for being in the wrong place. Isn't it funny how we tolerate far more numerous
non-native invasive species if they have fur & say "meow"? Whoever decided that letting your pets roam was a good idea but only for one kind of pet? :confusd:
Hope you feel better soon, Sonny! :sick:

Don't get me started. They continually ate the fish and frogs out of my home made pond. :rage::rage::rage:
