i read about that....weird story. my dad even heard about it and asked me, mr. zoologist, what my opinion was on what happened.
anyhow, i learned first-hand just how the pythons are taking a hold of the glades this summer, when i took a 10-day herping trip to florida. in one night alone we caught 2 burmese pythons, about 6' each. needless to say, they were removed.
maybe next time i can wrestle one of those 20 footers.
