Todd - thanks for the excellent video. Can you tell me where was it you video shot the "wild" python - was that a dirt road inside the Everglades National Park?
What are the permits required to hunt the bermese pythons ? I have had experience in the everglades but never experience with snakes. I live reltively close to the everglades and just want to get rid of those bastards. The everglades is a beatiful place.
I like the snakes and I am glad they are in the ever glades. They are good for the environment. I wish all these faggit moron clowns would just leave them alone there is no reason to go in there and hunt them your just pointlessly killing snakes. Do you really think the hand full of snakes your grab does anything to the population at large ? when I breed my Burms I am going to throw the babies right in the ever glades! Your an invasive species dick !
@ToddRowley 1. Gators have killed many people but no documented case of a python killing an adult human. Pythons cannot swallow a grown up human.
2. Pythons eats rats, mice, varmints and other stray animals keeping environment clean
3. Pythons make better pets. Gators rarely do.
4. Pythons are non venomous and leave humans alone
Why hate the Burmese python? Just because its not native here. They didn't come here on their own. I would kill 100 gators and you and your whole family to save 1 python
@fuckvegan AHHH Looks whos back my youtube "friend". YOu were doing really good on your argument until the end. That is when you arrogant, ignort rant went South.
1. - Gators have killed, along with dogs, cars, HUMANs. Pythons, full grown can absolutely eat a full grown human. YOu may wish to do some research on the length of these wonderful reptiles.
2.- keeping the environment clean. - Yep. But as they grow so does their appetite - large "varmints" and larger "animals".
3.- I'd agree with that since I have several pythons as pets and have been for years now 8ft.- 15ft in sizes. I even say they are good pets in this video.
4.- the saliva of a python has been known to cause anaphylatic Shock in some people, rare but it has happened. Sure many animals leave humans alone until we invade their space.
Why hate the python? I never said it, never said it in this video nor any other video I"ve made. Maybe your asthma medication needs re-evaluated. What? I made a comment about asthma? - sure why not.
To say you'd kill 100 gators for 1 python. Your ignorants is showing way to much. Have a wonderful day there bbbbuuuddy and remember, hugs not drugs.
Pythons are not native to our jungle. keep them ALL out of here. Too many irresponsible pet owners. So they spoiled for all of us. Too bad. Exterminate all the pythons!
Well actually humans can overpower any cold blooded, so none of them really are dangerous. What is really lethal to humans is our ignorance and stupidity. Going near a pond in Florida and expecting nothing jump out and bite your head off is stupid, but typical of our species and that is what makes the Crocodile so dangerous to us, even though it really isn't that dangerous. We are the dangerous ones on this planet. We are the ones who have cause extinction to other species.
@SmartGuy4today I agree with almost everything you said. I do 100% humans do more damange than any other species. However, humans cannot overpower all cold blooded animals. There are plenty of very dangerous cold blooded animals/reptiles that one person alone can not fight off if caught in a struggle. thanks for your comments.
As a southwest Florida resident I think this video was awesome! though I think this guy has had too much square grouper! I think it is irresponsible to keep a pet that can grow larger than you and can physically asphyxiate you, let alone biting off more than you can chew as a pet owner and releasing it into the everglades habitat. Enough with these exotic pets already!
@psychedelicwitchery well put and thanks. But..always a "but".. your word "irresponsible to keep a pet..." I only agree with you don't have the means to handle such a pet. Like someone owning a horse but not a pasture/big lot to allow the horse to roam. Owning ducks but have no water..anywhere. As long as you are fully aware and ready then you may be "responsible" however, it's those that are not that make it hard for those that are. Thanks again for viewing.
@ilovekendama Good evening everyone, I have a young man (and I do mean young) here that seems to think he can make comments without actually reading anything. I must say you are the first in 18,000 + people that made such a statement. Do I make fun about you trying to put a ball in a cup? - NOPE!, do I make rude comments about other people videos? - NOPE! Have I made any comments about you and your attempts to want to be some Black Ops, CIA, Military Bad-a**? - Nope and ever would.
@ilovekendama part 2 - you seem to think your rude comments are welcomed. I have read other comments you have posted. No TRUE Military Minded youngman would be so bold in their rudness. Also, if you wish to be that career in life make sure you actually read the instructions, pay attention to detail and follow directions. That is a great career or what ever it is you choose. However, i will not make such low, rude and vulgar comments like you just did. So, I bid you a good day and God Bless.
As a person living in Fla. The local and state governments love to pass laws that are intended to make everything "Safe". Unless you have the right last name, or are a part of "Good Ole Boy" club,you better watch your step.
@cville303 no harm no foul. Totally understand but I think exotics can be allowed for those with proper permits, understanding, knowledge and such. Prior to the new laws anyone could have them without any knowledge. Again, thanks for the comments. When we say ban the exotics that opens the door for other exotics including foods, plants, etc.. take care. I appreciate your comment and keeping it civil.
Great educational video, we'll be doing a python story in the future. You uploaded this 2 years ago, and the python issue is as big as it ever was. It's a mess down here, and as you stated... people outside of the local area, just don't understand the severity of it. When python's are eating 6 foot alligators... you've got a problem!
yes these rattlers were once native to the entire state but their becoming a huge problem..even tho their supposedly non aggressive if u step on one ur gunna get bit.whats worse is just like florida we didnt ask for this,the division of wildlife dumped them on us outta airplanes..instead of upping the bag limit on the turkeys to help control the population in a fit a brilliance they release rattlesnakes..whats next lions and tigers for the wild boars? lol
no problem bro.u got some nice videos.i cant stand it when people talk shit from an outsiders view..i live in ohio and i can understand where Florida residents are comming from..a few years ago the state of ohio turned loose 500,000 1 year old timber rattlesnakes to help with the turkey population..they did this twice which means they released a total of a million venomous snakes in the southern part of the state..if thats not enuf these snakes are the largest venomous snakes in north america
@josho1919 wow, that is the government for you. But then again we've done that with many different issues. Also, the Eastern Diamondback Rattle Snake is the largest venomou snake is the USA, Timber/Canebrake next, then Western and so on.. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Good luck on the wild boar the are becoming an increasing problem. I'd say shoot them all but then other "organizatoins" would be up in arms! CAT's are the most destructive to our environment/eco system outside of Humans!
first of all if it dont belong here its gotta go..if i lived in florida the barrel on my 12guage remington 870 wingmaster would stay hot and my shoulder bruised from shooting so many of them damn pythons..id make belts hats boots belt buckles and id make a pair of thongs for my girl out their hides...then afterwards id head to one of the local pain clinics and score some percs and oxys to take away the pain..after all its not the pythons that are the problem..its the retards who turn em loose
why should we ban burmese pythons? guess what everything in the wild are still going to survive even with them living in florida. and you are also worried about out alligators, they will survive also, large constrictors live with crocidiles in other parts of the world and guess what they both strive. stop being ignorant. you pricks, and by the way you killing the snakes isnt going to get rid of them. it is a impossible goal so have fun waisting money fags.
@kremers0490 - first off welcome to YouTube. Second, I am not sure if you are for or against my video?? Should we ban them? - no!, do I have a problem if they hunted? - no! Will it get rid of them all? - no! We I say "ban" i mean in the since you must be licensed for them like they have done already. As long as you are informed and educated with that particular reptile - no problem then. Same with a Nile Monitor, they don't belong in the wild here in Florida.
@ToddRowley i agree with some of your video, i do not have a problem with having to have a license, as long as it is not jumping threw hoop after hoop to get it. if you are educated in burmese pythons and can afford to keep one then you should be able to as long ast you are a adult. but i do not agree with hunting them. i do not think that they are going to make any other animal extinct. yes they will kill and eat some of the animals, but so do the alligators.
@ToddRowley I agree completely that it's not the animals but the people that are the problem. I think at least requiring each "large snake" to be registered and accounted for would be a bit more appropriate. If your pet dies then you have to take it to the DNR and have it removed from the books. It could actually create jobs as opposed to taking lively hood from the breeders and retailers, and yes I know you said "import" but we're talking about politicians here.
@ToddRowley who did you borrow that burm from by the way? A wild burm, in shed, completely blued and you didn't get bit? And hissing up a storm? We could hear the path when you stepped but not hear it hissing, interesting. Who ever it belongs to, it's a beautiful animal, continue taking care of it =)
i say this to all snake haters or think they should be dead. There have only been 12 deaths caused by large constricting snakes in 40 plus years of thier history in captivity here in America while Every year 186 people die in the US from dog attacks / bites. Most of them are young children or the elderly. so u tell me what is more deadly
We should make Burmese python skin jackets! When I move to Charleston South Carolina, I'll try and see if these animals have migrated there, thus, to other parts of the states! Because meteorological studies show that if global warming continues, then by the turn of the next century, the python's range could go as far north as New Jersey, and as far west as California!
@Dinoman217 go for it! - You will not find that the Burmese Python has migrated to SC - it aint happening. Remember, where ever the ground can freeze (snow for a week or two) they will not survive. However, I like your idea of some good use of them....Media love to say they'll "take over the world"...maybe a movie in the making I am sure... thanks for viewing.
It's funny how these green earther types bitch about killing pythons in Florida but don't even consider the fact that these snakes are harming the ENTIRE ecosystem in the area. These aren't ants or bees, they are 20 ft snakes.
BTW, I disagree with the host: you don't need to be a trained snake hunter. All you need is to be properly trained with a 12 gauge shotgun or a .44 magnum.
@b1naryd1g1t5 nicely put - straight and to the point. BTW- totally understand...just make sure you are indeed "properly trained" but do keep in mind these snakes can be used for their meat & hides...just like with cows and other things. I love my snakes and can "hug a tree" but always know when to let go too.
@jenna2136 Ladies and gentlemen we have here a 12 year old girl that is using her mom's name and information to use words that for some reason make her feel "cool"? Sorry little girl but your mouth is not very nice and Hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth. Oh,and I know your mom doesn't know about this youtube account you have but maybe it's time she does..... just a thought. Very easy to do little lady. Thanks for viewin but not for the potty mouth comment.
1. i think ur insane. 2. why should responsible breeders have to pay for what idiots like u do. 3. why would you hunt for snake to eat unless your a homeless person with nothing else to eat but shit from a trashcan.
@armandin2048 again, thanks for viewing but I am guessing, I am ASSUming you are having a bad day based on the other comments you've left on the internet with others. Sounds like you just want other's to feel bad like you were. I will not do that for you. Thanks for viewing.
@armandin2048 you are right to a point but just because they are here doesn't make it right or better for the environment. Look up Fire Ants that have been in the USA for about 50+ years now that were never here before. Thanks for viewing. Are you having a bad day?
How about banning you from living in US and sending you back to the shit hole your ancestors came from you worthless piece of shit ? Why are you blaming a damn snake that did not choose to come here to begin with ? Why would you want to kill them you idiot ? Would your illegitimate father Steve Irwin (who fucked your mom) be happy if he knew about it ?
@fuckvegan I thought I already had this conversation with you? Oh well, thanks for viewing. If what you say is True then i really am related to Steve I.!!! lol
@fuckvegan I thought we already had this conversation? Oh well, thanks for viewing. And if what you say is true then I am related to Steve Irwin! lol btw - if you had a house full of fire ants. What would you do to get rid of them? Let's ASSume you live in the USA and you now have fire ants all over your yard... what would you do? They dont' belong in the USA but they were introduced about 40-60 years ago. What would you do? Just a thought
@ToddRowley Fire Ants bite people. Pythons rarely do. Quit being an idiot. Next thing you are gonna say is that we brush our teeth and kill all the germs in our mouth. Why not hang yourself because you are a pest to these innocent animals. Yes these pythons are breeding so what ? Alligators are too and they are equally dangerous to humans if not more. But idiots like you will say oh yea gator are native to this place so I dont mind if it eats my baby..Fuck you. You are not native. Die
@fuckvegan really? again here? wow! okay, thank you so much and Merry Christmas. Can you go and hunt me down some wild animals too to eat?? You know - HUNT for animals. Thanks again and Merry Christmas. I love how the Holiday's bring out the best in people that hide behind the internet.
@oIVIILKo - were you referring to me? I'll wait on your response so i don't ASSume anything. "...there only snakes dude..." well that in itself says a lot and can be taken several ways. Thanks for viewing regardless.
@TheKyleSaltzman really! and thank you again for your inspiring, supportive words of encouragement. And the over 1,000,000 views on my personal vids (one of which is over 400,000 alone) tells me the same thing - they must all they they stink too.
@TheKyleSaltzman Welcome to Youtube "Kyle" now that you are out of Mountain Ridge goodluck in Glendale. for real. Don't give up dude! Thanks for viewing anyway.
@steveMCHS wow. So what you are saying is..if I don't support the killing of snakes and you watched the video then you're okay with me and maybe even think I am "okay or hip or cool" but if I do support killing snakes I need to go have intercourse with myself? Wow that speaks alot about your character too you know.
@steveMCHS and another thing.... "snake hunters all die"...wow, that is rough as well. I don't go off about Morinville High School or the Walmart you worked at. I like Wal-Mart, trucks and support the armed forces so hopefully that hate can be redirected. Your "passion" is wonderful but comment such as that make you appear to be a "radical" in your passion. I learned years ago to get people to listen you can not look like a radical ... easy to get other to listen and believe. Hugs not smokes.
@ToddRowley how do u know about morinville high school and what u said has nothing to do with what i said like what gives us the right to go out and kill something tht has done nothing wrong
@ToddRowley how do u know about morinville high school and what u said has nothing to do about what i said what give us the right to go out and kill when they have dont nothing wrong and i hate wal mart
@chimandude wow, you again! I did not realize that my videos cause your homosexual feelings to come out. My apologies for that..you are the first. You are correct and if you took the time to read some of my responses..instead of just be rude...you'd know I admit to it. Thanks again for viewing....Hugs not drugs.
@devilledevil98 some snakes, depending on weather are more dosial then others. Also, some snakes may not be in the wild as long as others. Thanks for viewing
i see you point about the owner being the one responsible, but pythons unlike cars and gunes have a mind of there own and you dont control there every action.
@Liamx123 you are absolutely correct and that is why owners should know this - period. I have snakes, I have 14ft+ snakes. They have bit me and I deserve every bite I get. I am aware of the requirements for having them and I know my limits. Owners need to know that just as their dogs, guns, cars... Thanks for viewing.
I think this all started in 1994 when when hurricane noah im not so sure destroyed a reptile sanctuary and 900 baby buremese pythons escapes and that what atrted the problem
@DAN5675able close but many say it was Hurricane ANDREW not Noah. Also what they don't tell you in the media is that we've done biological testing and many - most are traced back to one original pair...from the Hurricane - ANDREW. Thanks for viewing.
@SouthSideAKKILLA ..."well then punk, do you feel lucky? well, do you?...", "Go ahead and make my day". Okay I'm a Clint Eastwood Fan too. But you know something....YOU FOUND ME OUT. However I offer shows and have been for over 20 years, dealing with all types of venomous and non-venomous snakes. Do i feel the way I expressed myself on the vid? - YES and I preach it too in my shows. Thanks for viewing.
@SouthSideAKKILLA ....aaauuuhhh, Look who is using Big Words now?! WOw, I am not impressed but that is okay... you go back to your video games on internet and your Booty Videos as well.... Take care and someone needs a hug.
@SouthSideAKKILLA Funny yes but "fake" - no. I do deal with venomous and non-venomous snakes but sure some, if not all, these videos are STAGED. Yep, I've done given it away but I have plenty of fun doing them. Thanks again and have a nice day.
@FUXUPSSHITBRA4569 I agree but I also agree we shouldn't be introducing exotics into the wild however, we have more plant exotics that have destroyed much more. Thanks for viewing.
@1nopoint OH another person that likes to only give rude, crude and vulgar comments hiding behind a fake name. That's okay too. Why, "we shouldn't ban any snake from being a pet except venomous snakes" wow! really!! please look over what you just wrote, now read it again and make make a correction somewhere. thanks for viewing anyway. maybe you didn't watch the end of the vid or something..not sure but .. WOW ! "we shouldn't ban any snake from being a pet except venomous snakes". watch 3:20
@StripedAssasin I'd have to say, "most likely" but not established nor breeding that we are aware of. Let's hope the Retics are far and very few between. Thanks for viewing
One more thing... If your going to hunt them in the everglades.... at least use their meat or skin for boots... China would probably buy their meat... hell, your local chinese buffet would prolly disguise it as chicken.... Just dont kill them and let them rot.... Im sure the skins are worth alot.
@lnquistor53 EXACTLY! We are not the managers of the earth.... we are NOT above nature or on top of the foodchain.... we use technology and our intelligence to our advantage to get an edge over most animals... but 1v1 with an elephant, hippo, alligator, shark... without a weapon of some sort... your toast. We are just inhabitants. we cannot control natural disasters, disease, or what happens when a new species is introduced or another is going extinct. It just happens.
One way to look at this problem is that new species get introduced all the time. Sometimes on purpose to control another species.. Just because its unintended doesnt mean its a bad thing.... Survival of the fittest. The other way to look at this is that it IS a problem... BUT, restricting the traffic-ing of snakes in the US is NOT a solution. unless it is only applied to florida (in and out of the state)
@ToddRowley We're just as much of an animal as a lady bug or a kangaroo.... Theres just a lot more of us, and we developed advanced brains to contemplate our surroundings and advance as a species... It's really self-righteous to think that, in the long run, we can really have any sort of impact on nature or the universe... once humans are gone, the rest of the universe wont even notice. And mother nature is not exclusive to earth. We just want to think that cause of our relentless pride.
@mushugai once again you are on the mark. And BTW- I don't believe we are the only life forms out there. That would be have to be pretty greedy and self-centered to think that. Thanks for commenting.
@ToddRowley Agreed, the likelihood of life on other planets is 100% probable and possible. Just gotta figure out light speed or black holes so we can go that kind of distance and investigate :-p
@mushugai "blackhole" my thoughts are that is where the "aliens" are and the reason for the big eyes is because they have no light where they live and reason for "grey and hairless" is because no sun, no growing...and the reason they are short too. This is my brain and I am sticking to it. thanks again
@ToddRowley They could also be short and skinny because of low gravity. But I never really thought of any of that b4. Nor have I thought of any of our "encounters" as legit. Black hole travel would be pretty extreme. But it would be the only real way to travel that kind of distance. Perhaps they figured out the technology needed to travel through blackholes, but do not have the technology to know where it leads or how to get back? That would explain the very few appearances. Thoughts?

@shitzulovey Kill would be a strong word. I wonder if you mean to remove them or kill them if found in the wild. America is made up of everyone else in the world - Melting Pot. Anyway, i get your drift. Thanks for viewing.
that snake was definitely a pet. As there is an issue with ppl releasing these snakes into the wild, I don't think they should be bread. Im am for requiring a microchip and a permit for certain snakes. A house visit i dont think would be necessary cuz the state is gonna hire ppl who dont kno about snakes to check the enclosures. Possibly a requirement of the permit is a general knowledge test.
@Armoredlamb you are correct and they actually have to take a general knowledge form as well for each othe speicies and any ROC (Reptile of Concern). The people that come out to my place know about snakes but you are correct. I've been called out by the FFWCC to look over a person's snake collection and remove that that are venomous or ROC's since the officers did not know. So, they call those that do. Thanks for viewing.
Todd I just went down to Saint Francis WMA in the North Everglades and didn't find a damn thing. Everyone told us they were down south on the Federal Everglades land where we can't even hunt. I also went touristing on Loop Road off of Tamiami trail where there had been 11 found since January. They need to open up all of the Everglades for us permit holders and professionals. Sorry Venting.
@Johnnyturns I am glad you were able to get that rant off your chest. Feel better now? lol... yes you are correct. The media will make anything sound good and it was never what the media said it was EVER! Thanks for viewing.
@XXXJacka1XXX You are correct and I believe I state that but not the "endangered" Floridians really don't care about that right now just what the news likes to report.."LARGE KILLER SNAKES ON THE LOSE!" Thanks for viewing.
there is nothing wrong with burmese pythons, i have 2 burms and they are wonderfull pets if you know what you are doing and you are responsible snake owner, THE ONLY PROBLEM YOU HAVE IN FLORIDA ARE THE PRICKS WHO RELEASE THEM INTO THE WILD dont ban the snakes ban the dickheads who started this from keeping snakes
@bigpythons1983 Yes you are correct but many were also released during the Hurricanes and that was no ones fault at the time. You can have a great cage but if your house blows over then.... thanks for the comments.
@bigpythons1983 I am an avid constrictor lover. Since I left this group I was in, I have not been up to date on what is going on with this bill. I should be, yes I know. I agree 100% with what you are saying. Is the Fla. gov. capitalizing on these permits they are selling to kill these animals? What about the millon alligators and crocs? Aren`t they a menace?
@contstrictorlover09 you are correct on many points. Florida is not getting a lot of money for the permitting for those legally allowed to Kill the Burmese (mean trap them in the glades). They however have made more money with the new requirements to have a license and such.
Alligators are not as much of a ecological issue as CATS. Cats do more destruction of the environment then dogs, snakes and alligators combined.
Todd You say they dont belong why is that? Alligators are there. Todd Im not ignorant im just saying you know they could acomadate the snakes living their. You know its not their fault their should be tighter laws on who sells them and who buys them. People that get them just for the scene are wrong draw a picture of a snake and post it on your wall for people who just want to look at them
@tuki1boo you are correc that they can survive and nature WILL adapt. It alwasy doews. We have Fire-ants, iguanas, cuban frogs, etc.. nature has a way. But again they don't belong and I don't have a problem, being a herper., with them moving them and getting rid of them. Will they get them all? No, Will they become well established in Florida - South? Yes. Will we learn to live with them? Yes.
@tuki1boo you said it, buddy!!! This is my point. I was in a pet store not so long ago and I saw a baby burm for sale for $70!!!! For ... and giggles, I went to the manager of this franchise store and asked for a little info about this animal. Guess what?!!! I got " I don`t know" as an answer. Being a burmese owner I was enraged!!!!
About the Bible thing people interperted the wrong way it say the serpant but not the snake!!!! the Bible used serpant as a metaphor because snakes slither so does the devil when he tricked eve God created snakes yes they are big and yes they constrict. they have feelings too people think animals have no feelings wrong you dont kno why they do what they do they just need the proper owner. Dont attach burmese thats wrong
@tuki1boo Yes all life has some feelings. Just because we don't understand it doesnt' mean it isn't there. people do more harm to the environment then any animal combined. That is our nature. Is it right? no, but I understand it and work with it.
@tuki1boo I could be wrong, but i believe the Bible says that the devil came in the FORM or a serpent(snake). But I dont think that means that all snakes are evil. And GODs punishment was to take away the snakes limbs and make them slither(hence boas have pelvises but no legs). I could have a fact messed up, id have to Genisus(sp) again. But im pretty sure thats it. And snakes do have feelings and can tell the diffrence between people. Only non snake owners say they dont
florida just wants money. they dont care about the python. if it was a real problem theyd have the hunting season on going until the threat was eliminated. come on todd what about that? and no it wasnt directed at you. you are funny though...but annoying as well. i doubt ill ever see what you respond but good luck anyways with what you do
Todd - thanks for the excellent video. Can you tell me where was it you video shot the "wild" python - was that a dirt road inside the Everglades National Park?

Pythons are not native to our jungle. keep them ALL out of here. Too many irresponsible pet owners. So they spoiled for all of us. Too bad. Exterminate all the pythons!

@billwho62 "irresponsible pet owners.." I agree but it's not 100% their fault. We have many more issues than just pythons in Florida..
ToddRowley 1 month ago
Well actually humans can overpower any cold blooded, so none of them really are dangerous. What is really lethal to humans is our ignorance and stupidity. Going near a pond in Florida and expecting nothing jump out and bite your head off is stupid, but typical of our species and that is what makes the Crocodile so dangerous to us, even though it really isn't that dangerous. We are the dangerous ones on this planet. We are the ones who have cause extinction to other species.
SmartGuy4today 3 weeks ago
@SmartGuy4today I agree with almost everything you said. I do 100% humans do more damange than any other species. However, humans cannot overpower all cold blooded animals. There are plenty of very dangerous cold blooded animals/reptiles that one person alone can not fight off if caught in a struggle. thanks for your comments.

As a southwest Florida resident I think this video was awesome! though I think this guy has had too much square grouper! I think it is irresponsible to keep a pet that can grow larger than you and can physically asphyxiate you, let alone biting off more than you can chew as a pet owner and releasing it into the everglades habitat. Enough with these exotic pets already!
psychedelicwitchery 5 months ago
@psychedelicwitchery well put and thanks. But..always a "but".. your word "irresponsible to keep a pet..." I only agree with you don't have the means to handle such a pet. Like someone owning a horse but not a pasture/big lot to allow the horse to roam. Owning ducks but have no water..anywhere. As long as you are fully aware and ready then you may be "responsible" however, it's those that are not that make it hard for those that are. Thanks again for viewing.

@ilovekendama Good evening everyone, I have a young man (and I do mean young) here that seems to think he can make comments without actually reading anything. I must say you are the first in 18,000 + people that made such a statement. Do I make fun about you trying to put a ball in a cup? - NOPE!, do I make rude comments about other people videos? - NOPE! Have I made any comments about you and your attempts to want to be some Black Ops, CIA, Military Bad-a**? - Nope and ever would.

@ilovekendama part 2 - you seem to think your rude comments are welcomed. I have read other comments you have posted. No TRUE Military Minded youngman would be so bold in their rudness. Also, if you wish to be that career in life make sure you actually read the instructions, pay attention to detail and follow directions. That is a great career or what ever it is you choose. However, i will not make such low, rude and vulgar comments like you just did. So, I bid you a good day and God Bless.

why should we ban burmese pythons? guess what everything in the wild are still going to survive even with them living in florida. and you are also worried about out alligators, they will survive also, large constrictors live with crocidiles in other parts of the world and guess what they both strive. stop being ignorant. you pricks, and by the way you killing the snakes isnt going to get rid of them. it is a impossible goal so have fun waisting money fags.

@kremers0490 - first off welcome to YouTube. Second, I am not sure if you are for or against my video?? Should we ban them? - no!, do I have a problem if they hunted? - no! Will it get rid of them all? - no! We I say "ban" i mean in the since you must be licensed for them like they have done already. As long as you are informed and educated with that particular reptile - no problem then. Same with a Nile Monitor, they don't belong in the wild here in Florida.
ToddRowley 8 months ago
@ToddRowley i agree with some of your video, i do not have a problem with having to have a license, as long as it is not jumping threw hoop after hoop to get it. if you are educated in burmese pythons and can afford to keep one then you should be able to as long ast you are a adult. but i do not agree with hunting them. i do not think that they are going to make any other animal extinct. yes they will kill and eat some of the animals, but so do the alligators.

@ToddRowley I agree completely that it's not the animals but the people that are the problem. I think at least requiring each "large snake" to be registered and accounted for would be a bit more appropriate. If your pet dies then you have to take it to the DNR and have it removed from the books. It could actually create jobs as opposed to taking lively hood from the breeders and retailers, and yes I know you said "import" but we're talking about politicians here.

We should make Burmese python skin jackets! When I move to Charleston South Carolina, I'll try and see if these animals have migrated there, thus, to other parts of the states! Because meteorological studies show that if global warming continues, then by the turn of the next century, the python's range could go as far north as New Jersey, and as far west as California!

Perhaps they figured out the technology needed to travel through blackholes, but do not have the technology to know where it leads or how to get back? That would explain the very few appearances.

that snake was definitely a pet. As there is an issue with ppl releasing these snakes into the wild, I don't think they should be bread.

Possibly a requirement of the permit is a general knowledge test.

@Armoredlamb you are correct and they actually have to take a general knowledge form as well for each othe speicies and any ROC (Reptile of Concern). The people that come out to my place know about snakes but you are correct. I've been called out by the FFWCC to look over a person's snake collection and remove that that are venomous or ROC's since the officers did not know. So, they call those that do. Thanks for viewing.

Todd I just went down to Saint Francis WMA in the North Everglades and didn't find a damn thing. Everyone told us they were down south on the Federal Everglades land where we can't even hunt. I also went touristing on Loop Road off of Tamiami trail where there had been 11 found since January. They need to open up all of the Everglades for us permit holders and professionals. Sorry Venting.

Indian pythons are not the ones roaming florida, they are considered now endangered. only burmese are the common ones that are everywhere

@XXXJacka1XXX You are correct and I believe I state that but not the "endangered" Floridians really don't care about that right now just what the news likes to report.."LARGE KILLER SNAKES ON THE LOSE!" Thanks for viewing.

BULLDOZERS, PARKING LOTS, CONDOS, SHOPPING CENTERS, etc are destroying the native wildlife more than pythons.
Feral cats are bad too, where are the news stories on banning cats? They kill many more animals than snakes eat.

@droxland Agreed. Cats are a huge problem for the environment regardless of the State.

there is nothing wrong with burmese pythons, i have 2 burms and they are wonderfull pets if you know what you are doing and you are responsible snake owner, THE ONLY PROBLEM YOU HAVE IN FLORIDA ARE THE PRICKS WHO RELEASE THEM INTO THE WILD dont ban the snakes ban the dickheads who started this from keeping snakes

@bigpythons1983 Yes you are correct but many were also released during the Hurricanes and that was no ones fault at the time. You can have a great cage but if your house blows over then.... thanks for the comments.

@bigpythons1983 I am an avid constrictor lover. Since I left this group I was in, I have not been up to date on what is going on with this bill. I should be, yes I know. I agree 100% with what you are saying. Is the Fla. gov. capitalizing on these permits they are selling to kill these animals? What about the millon alligators and crocs? Aren`t they a menace?
contstrictorlover09 1 year ago
@contstrictorlover09 you are correct on many points. Florida is not getting a lot of money for the permitting for those legally allowed to Kill the Burmese (mean trap them in the glades). They however have made more money with the new requirements to have a license and such.
Alligators are not as much of a ecological issue as CATS. Cats do more destruction of the environment then dogs, snakes and alligators combined.
Thanks for viewing.

Todd You say they dont belong why is that? Alligators are there. Todd Im not ignorant im just saying you know they could acomadate the snakes living their. You know its not their fault their should be tighter laws on who sells them and who buys them. People that get them just for the scene are wrong draw a picture of a snake and post it on your wall for people who just want to look at them

@tuki1boo you are correc that they can survive and nature WILL adapt. It alwasy doews. We have Fire-ants, iguanas, cuban frogs, etc.. nature has a way. But again they don't belong and I don't have a problem, being a herper., with them moving them and getting rid of them. Will they get them all? No, Will they become well established in Florida - South? Yes. Will we learn to live with them? Yes.
Thanks again for your comment.s

@tuki1boo you said it, buddy!!! This is my point. I was in a pet store not so long ago and I saw a baby burm for sale for $70!!!! For ... and giggles, I went to the manager of this franchise store and asked for a little info about this animal. Guess what?!!! I got " I don`t know" as an answer. Being a burmese owner I was enraged!!!!
contstrictorlover09 1 year ago
About the Bible thing people interperted the wrong way it say the serpant but not the snake!!!! the Bible used serpant as a metaphor because snakes slither so does the devil when he tricked eve God created snakes yes they are big and yes they constrict. they have feelings too people think animals have no feelings wrong you dont kno why they do what they do they just need the proper owner. Dont attach burmese thats wrong
tuki1boo 1 year ago
@tuki1boo Yes all life has some feelings. Just because we don't understand it doesnt' mean it isn't there. people do more harm to the environment then any animal combined. That is our nature. Is it right? no, but I understand it and work with it.
ToddRowley 1 year ago
@tuki1boo I could be wrong, but i believe the Bible says that the devil came in the FORM or a serpent(snake). But I dont think that means that all snakes are evil. And GODs punishment was to take away the snakes limbs and make them slither(hence boas have pelvises but no legs). I could have a fact messed up, id have to Genisus(sp) again. But im pretty sure thats it. And snakes do have feelings and can tell the diffrence between people. Only non snake owners say they dont
