KILZ FILLZ Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 burmese python in florida everglades http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1264774/python_invaders_spreading_beyond_the_everglades/index.html Python 'Invaders' Spreading Beyond the Everglades Posted on: Friday, 22 February 2008, 06:00 CST The Everglades apparently isn't big enough for the giant invaders, who have grown fat, happy and increasingly numerous on a diet of unsuspecting natives. Over the last year, pythons have been found in the wild from Key Largo to Glades County -- and a new study suggests the exotic predators could spread beyond South Florida. Far beyond. --------- python vs gator http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9610099/#storyContinued Python proliferation in the Everglades Wildlife biologist says non-native snakes could impact ecology in Florida Python vs. gator Oct. 5: Joe Wasilewski, a wildlife biologist, talks about a python found in the Florida Everglades that died while trying to swallow an entire alligator and the reasons there are a growing number of pythons in the area. What happens when a 13-foot python with an appetite runs into a 6-foot alligator? Recently, a case of that matchup was discovered in the Florida Everglades. It ended in a tie when the python exploded, leaving both beasts dead. ------------ http://www.fort.usgs.gov/resources/education/bts/invasion/history.asp this is what happened when brown tree snakes invaded guam they wiped out almost all of the native land birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatoriHanzo Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This is the shit that happens when irresponsible reptile owners let their pets go outside. Florida has so many introduced species its not funny. I'm about to buy some cobras and release those instead, way more awesome then pythons.

Spitfire15 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I live right near the glades. When I first moved here when I was maybe 3 a huge one came out into the street and my neighbor took that bitch out with a shovel. Beheaded it.
