@MrCamelneck We did it with 20 million buffalo when we WEREN'T supposed to. So what's a few thousand non-native snakes? Granted, bison on a prairie are easier to bag than pythons in a swamp, but we have technology.

I agree with you in regards to the majority of them being intentionally released.
However, how in the hell are you going to get rid of them? They are currently losing the battle. The experts believe there are hundreds of thousands of Bermese Pythons in Florida now. Their population keeps growing exponentially and they have spread from the Everglades to the "pan handle".
They may not belong here, but they are here now and they are thriving and spreading!

@MrCamelneck Those you can get rid of. They don't belong in America. I'm inclined to believe that the majority of them were intentionally released.

Don't worry Mr. Snake Lover I have some good news for you.
There's plenty of Bermese and Rock Pythons in Florida and their numbers are growing at an astronomical rate. They will soon be migrating to other southern states and their territory is spreading like a wildfire that is out of control. They are devastating our native ecosystems and eating all our wonderful animals including rattlesnakes, dogs, cats, and children.

Hi Kurt,
I use to live in Eastern KY (Pikeville to be exact). While I agree that Copperheads and Timber Rattlers are by far the 2 most common venomous snakes in Eastern Kentucky, they aren't the only venomous snakes. About 20 years ago, I found a 10 foot Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake stretched across a rural road (Harmon's Branch). I'm absolutely positive regarding the ID of that snake. I've also heard of a few reports of water moccasins although I've never seen any myself.

A rattler and a copperhead sunning on the same rock? Makes me wonder what they were discussing before this guy showed up.

Not really a surprise that I got a comment like this. I would like you to tell me just how or why these animals are useless though, as myself and most other people in the learned and general population would not agree with you. Ah, I would also like to know how deadly they are as well, as more people die each year from shark attacks, car wrecks, lightning strikes, smoking, STD's, heart attacks, etc. than they do from Timber Rattlesnake bites. So...again...how are they deadly and useless?
