Huge Killer Pythons in Florida Everglades?
And they are out of control? And are eating their way thru the native wildlife? I guess the pythons have been there since the 1970's but their population is getting bigger and bigger.

They must be pretty big because one ate a 6 foot alligator (both the gator and the snake died).

It must be getting pretty scary to live down there in the everglades. All kinds of odd creatures are taking hold - it is just a perfect environment for lots of reptiles.

So now we will have lots of horror flicks from the Everglades. Good Grief.

1. Yep, 20 footers.
At least that's how big Burmese Pythons get. Breeding too. Gods bless the South Florida reptile wholesalers, the assholes. Five foot moniter lizards are running amok on the southwest coast too, gobbling up endangered crocodile eggs. Poor Florida.

3. poor Florida indeed.
we're a real mess.

Big snakes, election fraud, people who bludgeon their roomates to death with multiple hammers for lack of toilet paper, mass murder for an x-box console. Welcome to the Sunshine State, where America goes to die.
