Folks we have had 2 news articles about "Pythons" in Florida in the last two weeks (Houston TX.) One ate a turkey and the other, a cat. Are there that many Pythons in Florida?
 
These dam non indigenous species. First the manatee then the Yankee retiree A.K.A. Q-TIP and now the python. Florida was such a perfect paradise before these non indigenous species arrived. Can we trap them all and send them back to where they came from!
 
I'm with you, Thunder ..... there's more Yankees up here where we live now than there are in Masachusetts, and I never met one yet that either knew how to drive, or understood the word 'courtesy"! A guy from Pittsburgh bought the house next to me a couple of years ago, and the only time they speak to ya' is when they want to borrow somehing .....

We used to have one that was 16ft long and another that was 9ft.
I can't imagine coming accross one in the wild.
Maybe Florida can add it to our hunting license.

Kill a big one and I could make some Python Skin seat covers for my boat.
 
Just think people from Pittsburgh are the friendliest compared to the other species like the New Yorker loon or the Massachuses liberal or the Boston Butt the worst is the Long Island Scream in your face breed. I’m considering moving up North because there can’t possibly be any body left up there. All the cities must be ghost towns.
 
Texas has its fair share of some of the critters referred to. Included in that is the New Orleans species that shows all the negatives mentioned as well as violence
 
We've had Three Python articles as of late! One ate a gator, another
a cat and now a turkey. Time to open hunting season on pythons, vigilante work or something! Just imagine all the baby gators they must consume! Two pythons one 17 ft. and one 20 ft. found under a barn here in Samsula Florida where I live just in the last couple of years!! Getting scary folks!

These invasive species can and have really put our ecosystem out of whack. Everything from Japanese tallow to brown tree snakes (come over in equipment shipped from overseas- been found in Texas living in washers and dryers- highly poisionous, dare I mention the sea snakes that have been brought into Florida) Tallow trees coming up everywhere have pushed out young cypress here in the backwaters of the St. Johns between Lake Harney and Lake Monroe. They grow very well in the water! Is a sad state of affairs and it doesn't end with just plants, reptiles and animals- the line has been crossed in the human species also......Whew... I said that!
 
My fish and Game guys tell us to kill everyone you see...I have been thinking about this for a couple of years now..I would love to harvest these guys and use their skins..most of the pics I see involving catches are in the daytime....wonder if there is a way to get them at night? I figure you would snare them, then a shot to the head...how would you'll do it?
 
I have been to a couple rattlesnake round-ups. A Python rodeo would be interesting to say the least. They are a serious problem. Folks, thanks for the replies.
 
There's no restriction on Talapia (Nile Perch) because they're not a native species .... Python should come under the same rules. I think they're very dormant at night. Might be fun to bow-hunt them !!
