Florida has lots of scary critters that are native to the state...

 ...but I guess they figured they'd import some more, just to have extra. Check out this python:

  1. I'm thinking 'Wow, that's a big snake...' and then the human walks into the shot.
    That's a [several expletives deleted] BIG snake.

  2. Yeah, it's big, but it looks slow. As long as I could out-run it or the person next to me, I don't think it's a problem.

  3. So many pythons now exist in Florida, and they're apparently such a nuisance, that the government is offering bounties.

    Whoa! Just looked it up. Looks like it might be a profitable way to spend a day or two.

  5. Put them on the menu at a few upscale gourmet restaurants. Problem solved. It worked with invasive lion fish.

  7. I'm sure it tastes "just like chicken".

  8. You find em, we'll fry em. I had rattlesnake when I was in the Army at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. It was good. We had a guy from Tennessee who would hunt them in our spare time (which was often). He saved the meat til there was enough for a bbq, and made crafts out of the skins. Yes, it tastes similar to chicken.

  9. That snake represents a whole lot of hat bands. So, yeah, the possibilities are endless!

  10. Python-skin boots should be worth a bunch.
    What do you hunt them with?
    Guns? Machetes or swords? Dynamite?
    That one in the road I'd hunt with a 250.
    F-250 I mean.
    With duelies, 4WD and a big block.

  11. Yeah, you should be able to get some hatbands, belts and boots from that fellow.
