    I have talked to Skip Snow a few times about the burm problem down here. It is illegal to catch them if they are on the federal portion of the everglades.

    What happened was, one of those burmese pythons was hunting out in the everglades, and ate an adult alligator, because of the sheer size of it, the snake's stomach and whole body split apart, so there's this gnarly pic somewhere online of a half-digested alligator with a dead snake covering the other half of it- both dead of course.

    That's the last thing I've head down here, everything else is about alligators eating someone's stupid dog or something
    There was something fishy about the whole thing. IIRC the snake was discovered with no head. Although, somebody could have come along and taken the head for a souvenir.

    I wuold grab them up in a heart beat.
    Does anyone know of any exact location and time where I can find these snakes. It would be a blast to go herping for snakes so big and beautiful.

    I think that's just sad. Some people are so irresponsible.
