I think that dude is a Burmese. We have big time "invasive species" issues down here with Burmese Pythons and with boas which are just as heavy, but shorter. They did a bounty contest down here earlier this year. They only nabbed 68 of these f***ers, but one guy with a trained dog got 18, and the single snake winner was like 15 feet. Totally non-native and perfectly suited for the glades.

It's a Python and they are a big problem in the Everglades and starting to show up in the Lake Okeechobee area. North Central and North Florida hasn't seen any yet as our winters are a little to cold for them. Thankfully!!!!!!!!!!!

The dilemma is to either hang out with the snake, or jump from the plane. Both sound equally appealing to me. :big shock:

Sneeks and spiders, we have lots of both, I pay them no mind unless they look big enough to be worth catching. Then I relocate them to were we have the tomato plants growing so they can kill bugs, the spiders get tossed outside. Snakes and spiders eat the bugs that piss me off so they pay the rent and can stay.

These things are really hard to catch in the wild, they've about wiped out the raccoons and other lower mammals, and are into the deer population. Even gators are prey. It is a problem here. This year FL tried to have a state sanctioned hunt and only a few were killed. Released by stupid people to a great environment with nothing that preys on them.

FYI - snakes aren't slimy... they may be sneaky but they aren't slimy. :mrgreen:

Newts are slimy though. LOL
