They Are Getting Bigger In Florida

5’11” Cotton Mouth caught in Florida. Along with the pythons, we certainly do have some big snakes!!

 

Hell to the naw. I'd have ran out of ammo killing that thing back to the hell it crawled out of

 

Soylent Green.

 

An 18-foot-long Burmese python was found in the Florida Everglades

 

They are eating good. Lots of none native wildlife running around here in Florida. They are illegally brought into the country and then let go whenever they become too big or uncontrollable. So, the cottonmouths and others are eating good.

 

Why do you always open your mouth when you see something long?

 

This one was 17 feet long and weighed 140lbs. It was caught in April 2019.

 

Those are some impressive danger noodles.

 

That is impressively large.

 

I’d put the over/under for “How quickly would Steve89gt shit himself if he came across one of those in the wild?” at .75 seconds. I’d suggest you all take the under...

 

These pythons are irreversibly destroying the Everglades ecosystem. Some of it is certainly people letting them go, but some escaped following Hurricane Andrew. They are a plague. I'm conflicted because I really like snakes and other reptiles, but these don't belong in FL. Many other non-native species in FL. My wife got her Masters from UF studying the Mexican Spiny Tailed Iguana on Boca Grande Island. Hate to say it, but these invasive species adapt too well and are here to stay.

 

One more reason I’ll stay up north.

 

Deadly mf right there. That snake stick is far shorter than his striking distance (body length). OP must have put one in his head, and is using the snake stick as a handle. No release in a safe area if it were me.

 

Just last week a 5 foot Diamonback rattler was found in Wesley Chapel (just outside Tampa area)

Lmao

 

This was 2 years ago though...but still....if it is bigger than a worm, I am killing it!

 

The pythons have to die. Like you said, they are doing massive damage. They will continue moving north up the state.

 

Shoot till slide lock, reload, repeat

 

Yup, it was actually in 2016.

 

My next door neighbor caught this one trying to get on his back porch May in June of this year. This is in Palm Beach County Florida.

 

Yup. I would be pimping in that skin.
