Oh - I saw that!!  Ehhh!  :o   No, I definitely would NOT want those in my yard (shudder).

They're already infesting the glades - and damaging the wild bird population there.  :(   Btw, did you see that hideous photo a couple of years ago of the gator and the python eating each other?  Major EWWW.

This is actually nothing new. It's been an ongoing problem for many years and now recently has been brought into the spotlight. It's probably going to be one of those problems that will never go away and nature will have to take it's course.

Jeff is correct, in that the pythons didn't just pop up yesterday.

The big stir is over a map created by scientists of the snake's POSSIBLE range over the southern U.S. in the event of further global warming.  As far north as eastern Virginia.

250 lbs of snake neutralized by 4 oz of lead.  And on top of it, outside of S. Fl. it is fantasy snake.  So, what's the problem?  

Other than bored journalist that is.

Once I can keep Zone 10 palms alive here in Zone 9a, with no protection, I'll worry about the Zone 10 snakes.

I wonder how the Chupacabre will do out in the Glades.I understand it was first introduced 7 years ago.Maybe they can make a run at our well established Monitor Lizard population.

I read where they are actually capturing the females, spaying them, putting transmitters on them and releasing them so when the males come around, they can capture more snakes and kill them.
