It’s true!
Great, now I have to get a pet 'gator to protect me from the pythons.
My friend’s pomeranian that I take care of frequently better start lifting weights or something…
Awww…the poor Burmie-worms. I used to raise one…they’re adorable little guys…very huggy and affectionate.
Hell, we have abandoned ostriches and emus running around central Florida (let loose after the bottom fell out of the ostrich & emu meat farming market in the 90s), what’s a few snakes in the Everglades?
(No, really. I absolutely despise #*&@ing idiots who dump unwanted animals. Anywhere. Especially when it screws up the local ecosystem.) :mad:
Or a VIDEO GAME! That snake scene reminds me SO much of GTA3!
Giant Burmese pythons?
One word…
BURMA!
A python large
grabbed a gator.
Now out of sight
and underwater.
Burma Snake
A park ranger at the Everglades headquarters used to swear there were at least two anacondas loose in the Glades. Gave me bad dreams.
Inside of snake,
it’s very dark.
But new species thrives,
in sunlit park
burma snake
If through the swamp
you choose to walk
beware the snake
that will you stalk–
Burma-Snake.
Off the path
the herp had trick’d her
she failed to note
t’was a constrictor.
Burma-Snake!
Against a gator
they fall prey
but if you’re human
stay out of their way.
Burma-Snake!
i predict this thread will stretch out into seeming eternity…
It’s bad enough
To be et up by bugs
But now we’re stalked
By snakes big as rugs
Burma-Snake!
The native wildlife
Is a natural wonder
Don’t let the imports
Pull you under
Burma-Snake!
I think the title for your link is quite disengenuous, and the quote you provide even refutes your title link.
Eco-disaster
This does bode –
Alligator Alley is
Now Burma Road.
Burma Snake
If the python
Does lay eggs,
This thread just may
Develop legs –
Burma Snake
Your statement puzzles me. The title of the link is exactly the same as title of the linked article.
ie
The article goes on at length as to why imported species, including pythons, are considered a danger to the native ecosystem.
Ok, ok…I’ll give you the set-up for this one…
Why did you say “Burma”?
I hate, no loathe, people who dump unwanted reptiles. I’ve seen a good amount of it, and I heard about this about a year ago.
Instead of these asshats finding someone else to take it, or finding a reptile rescue in the area (NOT hard to do), they dump it into the wild. This just results in anti-snake legislation. I’ve seen it happen enough times to want to find these folks and hit them with something. :mad:
Grrr. If I don’t stop, I’ll start rambling on, so I’ll stop now.
