What state do you all live in?

[BrandiR]

Florida.
love the state / weather etc...hate the regulations and the fact we're associated with Bill "Ban Allll the Snakes!" Nelson.

So, can we assume you are not participating in the Python Round Up?

That is an accurate assumption. Although I agree with the general idea of having hunters do a round up, I would rather see people who are experienced with burms and giant pythons doing the rounding up. I don't believe it should be opened to the general public. Too many native snakes are going to be killed because of inexperience, and if they actually find a burm, you can bet it will not be put down humanely. One of the members of the central florida herp society was there on the first day, he had a couple guys bring him a rat snake thinking it was a burm. Thankfully, they had not killed the snake before getting it ID'd. According to him, the people showing up were armed to the hilt, looking to be expecting a zombie apoc, or burms spewing forth from the glades at them.

Yay for publicity stunts....

Agree.

Every time I see this on the news, I picture a different scene from 'Anaconda' and it makes me chuckle.

Ok...sorry for jacking your thread OP, back to the topic at hand....!

Georgia. Love the winters but HATE the summers. It's too hot to go outside by 11 a.m.

It's getting to the point that instead of having winter we just have an extended fall. It's January. And I ma wearing shorts for the 2nd straight year. That's just not right.

Gotta love climate change.
