@Mrtruimphchopper Hey impersonating crip, put down the USARK Kool-Aid. You're the one who's always talking sexual deviancy. Grow up & give it a break. I don't know why or how you became disabled but It was more than likeky your fault. So instead of trying to learn from the incident you've turned bitter, lashing out at anyone disagreeing with you. Well, you're the only one able to help you.
If you can't handle reality wheel yourself onto some tracks & play dare with a locomotive.
Total BS on your part! They are already spreading! Nature always adapts. Keep those blinders on if you wish but as a multi-generation native floridian I've witnessed their spread. Some of them have been caught north of Ft. Myers. Good to see you're keeping up with the news. You got any more of those 'truths' you want to spread?
They will not migrate!!!!! get your facts strait once they get in the low 70's and below for temps they will get upper respiratory infections and die pure and simple. Do you even own a snake if not you know nothing about them so do you have any more nonsense to spread on the web.
I don't care what Outdoor life has in it that's like saying watch Monster Quest what a joke. If they cant get in where it is warm they will die in 65*f so that shoots that out of the water they could not live in those temps year round.
That's right, don't let the facts get in the way of what you want to believe.
You know anything about gators' & crocs' nests? Decaying vegetation is the key. They can make their way to the bottom & let the rotting flora keep them warm, same way it incubates the crocodilian eggs, up to 78*f. Apparently you don't know as much about reptiles (or at least the Everglades) as you want us to believe. "...so that shoots that out of the water...".
There have been plenty of serious cold fronts pass through here since then. If what you say is true then please explain their population explosion. You can't. So"...that shoots that out of the water...".
we are talking about migration out of the everglades the way you made it sound they can adapt to any environment.If that is what you are saying then it is not true I do agree about them being able to make it for awhile in cold weather by staying in old gator nest that is plausible. But look at this cold snap you had this year it wiped out a ton of pythons no one knows for sure how many maybe even the majority.
That's NOT what I'm saying. I'm saying the ones that survived (and there are survivors) the cold will pass that ability onto their offspring. Natural selection & all that. You go back far enough into a cave & you'll warm up, the deeper you go the warmer you get. That's where the gopher & terrapin holes come into the picture.
As far as old gator nests maybe not but if a big female kills or chases off a female gator that has just built a nest or better yet, just laid & covered her eggs...
...Not only does she stay warm, she also has baby gator snacks as soon as they hatch in the spring, if she hadn't eaten the eggs before then. She can more than likely smell them in the nest. Come warmer temps she can then eat other gator hatchlings. When you get enough of them doing that the gators lose the title of apex predator. As it is only 2 or 3 hatchlings out of a clutch of 30 to 50 eggs make it to adult status. I'm hoping you can now understand that pythons have the capability to spread.
If not to Virginia then at least through the alligators' range, which is most of the south, all by taking shelter in a gator's nest. It provides warmth, shelter & food. This is why I take the tayra with me. She sniffs them out for me. The majority of big burms I've killed this winter were hiding in gator nests.
So no, I've never owned a python but being raised in & around the florida rivers & swamps does give me some insight to the reptilian mind & how to use their instincts against them.
I have seen pythons in low temps and have treated several for URI so I know they cant live in those temps year round. A 2 degree change is a a lot for snakes.If you don't own a python then you don't have a clue that's like teaching a class on welding and you have never welded but you read a book on it once go talk to people that have them.
You're using the wrong analogy. One does not have to put their hand in boilig grease to know it will cook their hand.
During a few warm days last week in this unusually cold winter a troop of boy scouts & their leader spotted four live ones. Yet, according to you they should ALL be dead. Explain, or try to.
OMG Yes they can! And they have! It's called natural selection. It's taught in public schools under Basic Biology. Study it sometime. Education works, it really does! So does natural selection!
OMFG!! 1000 Deaths since the 50's??? WTF?! SOOOOOOOOO DRAMATIC! More people die from car crashes in a year, or what about smoking? Another tip: Restrict your pythons Habitat..... It WILL NOT grow anymore then its enclosure can provide, the only way that snakes can get that in the wild is a miracle, without living in a pet environment its extremely rare
Comparing apples to oranges don't cut it & you know it. grasping at straws is a sure sign of limited thinking. Try again, but this time with something a little more intelligent.
If you think by keeping the enclosure small the snake will stay small you are a fool they are not gold fish do more research I have burms and retics what snakes do you have?
Seriously, I'm killing pythons here in the 'glades & they're still spreading. I'm glad the ban is in effect now. The more children they kill the more the public is going to raise hell with the politicians about them. It's people with your blaise' attitude is why we have so many of them here now.
@Inquisitor53 I didn't say there wasn't an issue. I just don't think it's the government's role to create panic. I also don't think that it's right to let every tom dick and harry think they can kill reptiles willy nilly. I grew up in FL and can attest to how many harmless species were killed regularly because they were mistaken for "water moccasins." The average person should not be allowed to cull any wild animal population - not without experience and a proper education.
I agree with you about anybody being alllowed to kill anything willy-nilly. As a florida native of 5 generations, being brought up in & appreciating the florida wilds I know my natives and the invaders. I only kill threatening invaders, both flora & fauna. I know my enemy. I know where the go to seek shelter, where they breed, where the give birth & when, & their vulnerabilities. I consider myself qualified.
OMG YOU RETARDS WHAT ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO EAT ITS CALLED NATURE GOD MADE THOS FOR A REASON AND YOUR GOING TO GET PUNISHED

1. Learn to spell.
2. Strange, they seemed to have survived our winters here when the temps in the 'glades were below 65*f. So much for your "pure and simple".
3. I don't need to own a snake to understand them. Dum statement on your part.
4.Read Oct. '09 issue of Outdoor Life, page 8. Here's hoping it can help cure some of your ignorance.
