Salt water alone unlikely to halt Burmese python invasion
It's time for a bounty on dead Pythons. The money would be the best
spent in years. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0104153741.htm |

There is actually a potential retail market for python skins, selling them to the Chinese. They use it for some kind of traditional musical instrument and the demand is devastating native populations in Asia. The US environmental people are still trying to decide if 100,000 red necks tromping around the Everglades is going to cause more damage than the snakes. These things are really not that easy to see. You may not even know there is one there until he bites you. The wrap and suffocate thing comes right after that, pretty fast. The bite is still comparable to a big dog with backward curved teeth. Okay...now I understand the redneck bite. What's the snake's bite like? :) |

I just know there are plenty of snakes north of the Mason Dixon line and these guys may join them if they can figure out a way to hide from the cold in the winter. In the summer time they will be right at home just about anywhere up there and there is plenty for them to eat. These guys can survive on birds, rabbits and rats but they can also take down a deer, a calf or a pony. My Son In Law works for water management in the glades and they find all sorts of things inside the pythons they kill. Let me know when he starts finding the little *******s full of golf balls! |

There was a 12 footer in Sanibel when I lived there and he hung out at the beach across the street from my house (between the Hilton, now Sanibel inn and the Tortuga Beach Club) The gulf was no problem from him. That was also the gator that ate ice cream and hot dogs at the Dairy Queen. They would send Bird Westal out to get him and take him back over to the Ding Dong preserve. Sanibel was a "no kill, no relocate off the island" alligator place in those days. It was all good fun until a few years ago when he ate a real estate woman. He is a suitcase now. We all know that rednecks, not gators, are indigenous to south Florida and that the interlopers should be rounded up and shot. :) |

Actually, I was thinking inland like... Orlando === The area in and around Orlando has *many* small lakes and ponds and just about everyone has a resident gator. At certain times of the year they get lonely and start wandering around. That's when the trouble starts. They are natural, instinctive hunters and can lay in wait motionless for long periods of time with just their eyes out of the water. My brother-in-law north of Tampa is on a water hazard pond. I sometimes amuse myself by trying to spot the alligator. If you take your eyes off him for a minute and then look back, he'll have moved a little closer while you weren't watching. |

Now that seems to be, but stands to reason.... There's a creek way way down the St. John's River from where it empties into the ocean at Mayport. I think it is called Black Creek. Pretty place, winding creek, and absolutely full of gators. Full of bass and other fresh water fish. Unfortunately, full of jetskiers, too, at least when we lived in the area. There were those who wished a few of the jetskiers would fall into the water in the creek and provide the gators with lunch. I don't recall reading that it ever happened, though. |

You don't have to be just "Scottish" to wear a kilt. *I probably won't (no need to) wear one, but kilts were found all over the British isles. here's a list of part of my kilt wearing qualifications in ancestry... Price (English) Cordell (English/Welsh) Hyatt * (English) McKinney (Irish) Graham (Scot) Davies *(Dafydd) * (Welsh) I could rightfully and proudly wear a kilt from any part of the British Isles. Eh, who knows, I might do that sometime, but.... not today And I'm still waiting for a little apology. Tim, do let me know when you're going to do the kilt thing. I want to make sure I'm a long way from southern Illinois. Not me, I want to be there to take pictures! Aye! |
