Inbred Hillbilly Scum Kill Yourselves save the critters!
will...do you mean when they introduce their wife and their sister, there is one woman standing there.
The reason this SNAKE is so Big, is because it has been Feeding off ALL the Airline Passengers that flew/ Crashed into the Florida Everglades - believe it was Value Jet,,, so basically,,,, this Snake has been getting his VALUE MEALS quite often,,,, remember the Value Jet Crash,, years back,,, now we know where all those loved ones went in the belly of the Beast !!!!
Can you imagine what it has been eating to have gotten that big?
Florida is one of my least favorite place to visit let alone live - add in the snake and it is a hands down winner! As if hanging chads weren't bad enough!!!!!
The are about as official as a coin operated porta potty in Haiti! Too bad the snake didnt eat them! It brings to light
that someone needs to watch these murderous hillbillies! Looks like another instance of Poachers in Sheeps clothing fire the scumbags!
Casey Anthony and family, the jury that freed her, Rep. Alan West, and this huge python that ate a 75# deer: A small sample of the Florida State Freak Show. Free admission...
What about the African Rock Pythons?
I understand that they have a worse temperament than the Burmese Pythons.
rob...what ever the temperament of either is, it doesn't matter, if you're around when either needs to feed, you're in trouble.
lando, i will assume that you did not eat the 200 pound deer in one sitting. whew, i thought you were being judgemental regarding eating flesh. sorry about the rangers. i liked both teams, so it was a win-win for me. great games, though. am from texas but live in arkansas now and the cardinals are the favorite here. is it "legal" to get off topic? am still upset about killing the giant python. do not understand why it had to be killed. read a post that a python ate an alligator and that killed it, but cannot find the post to verify. lynn
lynn...the python was able to eat the deer in one sitting. yes, it's O K to go off topic. if you read some of the posts you will see how a snake eating a deer, somehow gets political. keep trying on the python that burst eating a gator, it's out there somewhere in cyber space. texas was my choice for this world series. i'm a white sox fan...2005 world series champs!!!
Go Dolphins! !972 Undefeated Season!!
No. Really. I mean GO. Away. $@*@*$(!#__<^$_!^&*(?+! Owners...
Images for Python Gator
isn't that a gator eating a python?
notso...them damn dolphins put the kibosh on our perfect season in 85. how about NE going for that perfect season...at least the bears won the most important game with their one loss of the season.
No. The python burst after swallowing the gator, probably because the gator was still kicking and clawing! They can hold their breath a looong time.
Or it was just too big for the python to swallow/digest. Google it and you'll get a full story!!
i imagine the python squeezed the life out of the gator before it ate it. my guess, it's eyes were bigger than it's stomach.
lando - white sox = yes, cubs = no. yankees = never ever, ever. so, now y'all are on football. what about that poor ol' snake! night, night. peace be with (almost) all, lynn p.s.. thanks for the gator/python info.
Photo in the News: Python Bursts After Eating Gator (Update)
g'nite lynn.
It's time to offer a bounty on them. Also offer some prizes for the best use for their skins.
hey, bob, are you from texas? that's what they do in texas with the rattlesnakes. it's still wrong.
Hmmm... If the snake was "captured" it should have been contained and released to a zoo.
because of these so called pet owners...the zoos already have too many pythons.
Is there any way to disable the freaking stupid 'older' 'newer' page switchers? I hate 'em!
Anyone else lost as many comments as I due to them changing the page before being able to finish a comment???
no
i'm with you. right now i HATE pacman because he keeps popping up and taking me where i do not want to go.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not "Spacing" alone, Lynn!!! It's making me show my teeth as well.
GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just watched a PBS special on these snakes in southern Florida. They estimate there may now a be a few thousand of these snakes in southern flordia and they are finding dozens of them on farms, in fields and killing livestock and pets. PBS showed a vidio of a 15 footer killing and consuming a 6 foot alligator. As exellent climbers they are also killing a lot of endanger bird species............I would think they could help the unemployment problem by putting a bounty on these critters.
The Dems can eat my python
The Dems can eat my python
I have nightmares reading all this stuff about Florida.
We were planning to move to St.Petersburg soon. No more.
How can people survive there nowadays??
St Pete has no snakes for you to fear eating you. It is a world away from the Swamps/Everglades where this monster was killed.
More real is to fear getting your auto hit or being sued by a transplant retiree!!
Why kill it? @ssholes.
what should they do with them? maybe you can volunteer to adopt all of them. there's only about 100,000 of them ravaging the wildlife in the everglades.
"Owners of large, exotic animals are a menace to society."
bald...like that dumb ass in ohio.
It doesn't looks like anyone who has written, has watched the PBS TV show NATURE . The last few days our local station has been showing repeats of films made about this problem. It is a huge problem for the people living and working in So. FL. There is no excuse for people having exotic pets. Leave the critters where they belong in the wild.
Man has done more harm to this planet in the last three hundred years, moving and changing things. The planet was doing very well without our help.
ines...welp, i guess the only hope for the planet is...we all need to kill ourselves.
PBS Nature just aired an episode about the burmese pythons in Florida.
Estimates over 10k of them now populate the everglades.
The Indigo snake, the indigenous snake, is now endangered apparently.
And I agree, lets feed all those dumb tard teabaggers to them. Oh and that lying Mark Rubio as well.
newt, is the indigo snake endangered because of the pythons or some other reason? have met an indigo , actually my first encounter with a snake (i was very young). it was very large and very docile, a pleasant first experience. due to that experience I have never been afraid of snakes, just respectful. it is disturbing that they are becoming endangered.
The problem is that they would not eat the likes of Marco Rubio ,snakes dont get that big eating @!$%#e!
zewt...it's 100k plus and who is mark rubio. i don't follow the indy car racers
damn, lando, that was funny.
Put a bounty on them, you'll see the problem get better fairly quickly.
Am I the first to ask.....why was the snake killed? A refuge or zoo would probably have taken it.
jazzy...because the refuge and zoo's are already overwhelmed with pythons from the stupid, so called pet owners, that have released their pets into the wild.
Couldn't they have tranquilized it and flown it back to it's natural habitat? ;}
shade...yeah right!
Haha Yes that would have been good. Like it's natural habitat... the Paleocene Epoch period.
BTW, that was a sarcastic remark aimed at everyone crying about the escaped animals from the Ohio farm/zoo. Hence the wink emote.
Did this deer have horns? I wonder what it feels like to swallow antlers?
smelly...why don't you swallow a dear with antlers, then you wouldn't have to wonder anymore.
lando - Put the bottle down and go to bed.
lando, don't put the bottle down . . .. . keep on dishing.
