Yikes.

If that thing is still alive, the guy standing behind it is in danger
even with the mouth taped. That huge tail can whip around and break
both his legs.

Crikey!


The rattlesnakes bother me a whole lot more than the 'gater.

Yeah, I'll worry about them when they start splattering on my car.
Until then love bugs are the enemy.
And rock crabs that bite my thumb.

Go ahead and laugh. Had a rock crab clamp on to my thumb, cutting it.
Almost fainted. Had to sit down with my head below my knees.
I think they have some kind of venom. That's what I think.

It's just that Harry has this big self esteem problem, that's why he
has to insult people constantly. It's also why he lies constantly and
his lies are just so tremendous that no one can possibly believe them.

We find gators in our swimming pools on a regular basis here in Florida.

We have to respect these creatures. They were here first. We are the
intruders.

18 foot Boas & Pythons have also been found here. Obviously these are
discarded pets, but we deal with them with respect and relocate these
amazing creatures. Displaced gators over 8 foot are destroyed due to
their overpopulation. Florida is home to over a million gators.

Can't recall where I read/saw it, but somewhere there was a guy having a
sit-down, when a boa slithered out of the plumbing. Honestly, I'm not
all that "girlie" when it comes to critters, but if that happened to me,
I don't think I'd ever get regular again.

We have more of a bug problem than anything else. Imagine when trimming
a tree, you all of the sudden get covered in swarming American
Cockroaches that fly to boot.

I use Cypermethrin inside and outside my property to keep these guys
under control. I have seen brand new homes in heavily wooded areas
infested with bugs and rats in just 2 short weeks.

We clear huge parcels of land to build a house, thus we kill off these
bugs natural predators like frogs, bats, birds, lizards, etc., then we
whine that the bugs are taking over.

We allow importing of huge lizards that kill off these natural
predators. We allow ships to discharge their ballast tanks in our local
shores and wonder how the snakehead fish & jellyfish took over many of
our rivers and bays...let's face it, humans are stupid. And as long as
we keep sticking our greedy noses where it don't belong, these creatures
will take full advantage of our short sighted thinking.

There used to be a fellow in Putnam everybody called Snake Man - he
had a collection of pythons and boas - a couple of them on the larger
side and one was a spectacular example of Burmese Python - 18 foot
long, 300+ pounds.

Well it got loose. And, as it happened, Snake Man lived across the
street from St. Mary's School. Locked the school down until they
could find it - lot's of little ones at St. Mary's.

Yep - you guessed it. They found the snake near the rear entrance of
the school that went out to the playground. Nobody ever figured out
how the snake managed to cross the street without somebody spotting
it.

One of the funnnier things I've ever seen was at Bein Hoa AFB in
Vietnam. One of the fighter groups there had a Burmese Python in
captivity - guys used to visit and pull the snake out of it's cage,
drap it around their shoulders and take a picture. Proceeds went to
the fighter squadron bar fund.

One of our guys paid the money and did the snake/shoulders thing until
it bit him and started wrapping itself around. I'll give the kid
credit - he didn't panic and we got the snake off of him in short
order, but they stopped the picture deal immediately.

The snake ended up at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raliegh, NC.
