    In the Glades

    Don't know if we can call this good or bad press but this is what is going on down here right now.

    I'd heard about the hunts.

    Are you in the Everglades area? My husband will be down there in a few weeks doing some photography for National Geographic.

    Yup. If I walk across the street I'd be wet. I see gators almost every day. He should have lots to take pictures of. Birds and reptiles galore. Some that belong here, some that don't.

    Since the burms have been there for so long, I'm actually surprised they aren't finding larger ones.

    I'm sure they are here. Unless you have seen the everglades or something like it, it is kind of hard to describe. Finding anything there is hard. If you are finding some of anything there odds are there are many, many more going unseen. The burms are here to stay. There is no way they are going to get them all. They would be lucky to get a 1000th of the population.

    I actually hate how media always just writes "python" and not specify the species (burmese python, african rock python, etc). It's writing like this that is honestly what's making the average people shun and cringe when they hear we have a ball PYTHON. Making people think "python" is a single species that all grow to 15 feet lol.

    slightly off topic :I

    Looks like bad press to me. The way the article is written gives me the distinct feeling that it's playing on the traditional "fear" factor when it comes to snakes.

    I hear you, but the problem is the addition of another apex predator. Hopefully things will balance themselves out.
