A python isn't a Ferret, it's a SNAKE!

[blog_fever2]

Wow.... Where were the parents while all of this was happening?

[DaVicar5]

probably the same place the kid should have been - RUNNING AWAY ! ! !

Pythons don't kill people. Snakes kill people.

[gold_standard]

Machete the owners, the snakes, or both?

[ubrew12]

Thanks to global warming, expect to find these critters in most of the Southern U.S. within a few decades.

[everlaw01]

I knews your libs would somehow blame this on Republicans!

ubrew12,Idon't know what planet you're on but the earth has been cooling for the lasy 10 years.

[infmom-2009]

The great snake migration is more indicative of loss of habitat than global warming. But both are probably true.

[ubrew12]

Well, the planets going to get hotter, and tropical species will be migrating northward. Say hello to pythons, malaria, yellow fever, and a host of other critters and diseases.

Someone released a Burmese python into the Everglades after he/she grew tired of their pet. That person just committed murder. These pythons are exploding their populations, and more of these kinds of deaths are going to happen.

I do know one thing, there are an inordinate amount of snakes out this year, has anyone other than me noticed? Mind you they maybe only babies, but they have to start somewhere.

The only good burmese python, is a dead one. Anybody that knows these critters will attest they have the nastiest and meaniest temperment of the boa's.

sign me: locked and loaded, come and get it little snakies.

I would recomend a nice 12 gage semi auto.

What kind of an idiot has a python as a pet. And then when they realize it is not such a good idea, they let it go. I say machete them when you find them.

I would machete the snake. The owner I would just tase.

"No other information was available about the incident, including the child's age... An invasion of giant Burmese pythons in South Florida ..."

This piece needs updating. She was a 2 year old, and the snake was a pet - not one of the feral snakes mentioned above.

[DaVicar5]

A python isn't a Ferret, it's a SNAKE!

[DaVicar5]

"feral? ferret? Man you are diggin' deep today!"

Look it up on Dickshunary.Kom =

Fer-al: adj. 1.)Like or related to the Ferret

[willow0313]

Feral means wild, you bunch of dodos!!!!!

[ToolMangler1]

DaVicar is on the 'Good' stuff today!!!!!!

[DaVicar5]

Children shouldn't play with pythons, unless they first pass a python safety course, understand the care and proper storage of pythons, and can demostrate the ability to shoot them.

[DaVicar5]

"The Care and Proper Storage of Pythons"
Isn't that a book by Dr. Laura?

- - - It ain't a book by Sigfied and Roy, that's fer sure!!!

[Danisthebest]

BannedNancy...are you crazy?

[ToolMangler1]

Lots of fun here until one of those 'wild' snakes crawls through the sewer into your living quarters and strangles a child sleeping in "Supposed the safety of his/her bed...
