Man what a great country, eh?



My son in law says the water management guys turn these up all the

time.

I wouldn't ddoubt it, but is their populace getting thicker?

Yes and they are moving out of the everglades. They will be seeing
them in Orlando pretty soon from what I hear. They are already popping
up around Lake O and once they find the Kissmimee River ... off they
go.
We had one over Near Waynes place a number of years ago so they are
far from rare but lately they have just exploded. If I see one around
here I will kill lt for sure. Then I will experiment with tanning
again. My gator hide didn't work out that well but I was using a snake
recipe

You'd best watch your butt. It sounds like these guys are migrating. There're laws about killin' and
tannin' the hides of migratory species. Besides, maybe these things will take a likin' to geese.

This is not encouraging, unless one really despises the current administration and these things like
rose gardens:

"One alarming study by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2008 predicted the pythons could find suitable
climate in about a third of the United States, as far north as Washington, D.C."

http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2010/1024/Will-Florida-s-Burmese-pythons-move-north-How-far

I bet they can survive up in the tide water areas of Va and the
Delmarva. If they can find warm water year round they could even go
farther north. It would be another good myth to start about the New
York sewers ;-)

One line in the study might be a predictor of those things doing OK he

"...some studies indicate that the temperatures a snake experiences during its first year determine
how it regulates its body temperature for the rest of its life. Snakes born in the area might fare
better than snakes transplanted in as adults."

If they work their way north and hatch newborns as they go, the newborns might could adapt. Wasn't
there a giant anaconda loose in the NY sewers, or was that a giant alligator?

Who would notice another snake in Washington?


Ha !

Just give 'em time. They'd blend in really well on Wall Street too!

I'd kill it to, seeing it's not a 'woodland creature'. But even if it
was a 'woodland creature' I'd kill it anyhow.





Yeah, you just like killin' critters...

Maybe Scott. But I don't think I'd be eating this one...

Might be good eating. Rattlesnake is good. And the snake meat market in
Singapore is popular.

Seems as if there were Caimans or gators actually in NYC sewers. And the
fact the sewer workers carried .22's IN NYC?

I've eaten rattler before and it's not bad as long as you don't think of what you're eating I suppose. But I'd rather have something else.

Kinda reminds me of chicken necks.

We take immigrants of any weight, shape or form.


Be careful of someone will start screaming about wanting to marry the

Use your imagination.

LOL! (Again)

Yet you live in one.
