Nothing like exaggeration to make a good article. I just read an article online about a woman who was surprised by a 3 foot ball python in her living room. She only lived there for 2 months so they think it was the previous owner's. It didnt report anything really bad, but the picture next to the article link shows something like a big burm with the title "woman surprised by snake". Again, a little exaggeration goes a long way. I think it's ridiculous how this issue is constantly making into the papers now when a year ago you would never read about most of these stories.

I sent him a nice polite e-mail with a link to David and Tracy Barkers responce to the study he refers to and suggested if he writes future articles on any snake that he contacts the Barkers for additional information instead of using one study, that I could easily go and read myself, as the sole reference for a news article. I also noticed how the author of the paper seems to have a hatred of the Burmese Python by the remarks she made. To me it makes her a biased sientist on the subject which makes the paper even more subject to scrutiny as using incorrect data on purpose to write their study.

The only good thing about burms is that they make good leather??

Wait...isn't eating dogs and cats enough of a silver lining?

While I think that global climate change is a very serious threat - stupid articles like this with alarmist positions do nothing to help things. This guy is a nut job if his argument for global warming is the threat of burmese pythons.

That's some of the DUMBEST STUFF I'VE EVER READ! EVER!

Nice.


So at the end of all that... I pictured a dancer strolling around a sewer in her platforms, finding a Burm... "This one will do!"... and flash forward to a stage with a huge Burm *with a poodle in it's belly* slung over her shoulder... What???

I need more Coffee..........

I think it might have been written a little tongue in cheek there. Most serious reporters don't write that anything will swim up the toilet and "bite our butts".
At any rate, it's in poor taste and uses false information. Media gets worse every day.

at least he mentioned that Burms are strippers snakes of choice...that seems to be true..(Dusk till Dawn and Salma Hayek....best scene ever!)

That's honestly the most ridiculous thing I've read in awhile.

So, in an effort to take a fair and balanced view of this subject, I did some research on Burmese pythons. It turns out that there is quite another side to this story, thank you very much. As it happens, Burmese python skin makes highly prized leather. The quality of American watchbands might improve dramatically.

That was all I could find.

Clearly written by someone with rocks for brains.
