I read about this story a few weeks back, how the python trade is going out of bounds, and they're roaming freely, set to migrate into other states. As I have snake fears, thank you lord that I am all the way on the other coast. If I lived in Florida I'd be crying right now.

This scares me also. i have a fear of snakes even little ones. i heard lots of people got them when they were small and when the snakes got to big they released them. they are getting bold and coming up inland to some people's houses.
on another show about this someone said they could breed into the millions.

Hopefully someone sees a business there and captures them for re-sale or ships em to wherever they belong.

i loathe snakes, but i am grateful for the snake problem to have this guy.

i, once, saved a snake that was coiled up and hissin along a highway under construction. it was obiously a pet or it would have never gotten itself into the situation that it did. i just pulled off the road, blocked it from traffic, a lady and her kid stopped to help as well as did two young men and before long we had directed the thing, which was almost 10 feet in lenght away from the highway..but exactly towards my house!

Pfft that's nothing, my country is host to the deadliest snakes and spiders in the entire world.

Tiger snakes and King Browns...the worst of them all. Those King Browns actually chase you to bite you!

And I have the worst phobia of snakes. I hope they all die and become extinct.
