Snakes Go Wild!

Here in South Florida, many people make pets out of python snakes. It's no surprise to see someone walking around with a large 7 foot snake draped around their body, and around their neck.

When a snake gets too large, and too expensive to feed, most owners take the snakes out and dump them in a vacant lot, or out in the Everglades. These people do not investigate snakes before purchasing, otherwise, they would learn that the world's largest python was recorded at 33 feet long. Oddly, in the last couple of days, pythons have been making the news.

Over the weekend, a python ate someone's cat. The owners of the cat, saw the cat in the snakes jaws, when they went out back to grill their dinner. There was this large snake, in their back yard, next to a pond, swallowing their cat.

Then yesterday, the news showed us a python that had swallowed an alligator. What???
An alligator, you ask stupified. Indeed, and the alligator exploded, after eating the gator.

And lastly, a python was caught in West Miami Dade, feasting on turkeys in a turkey farm.

It's really a shame that people can't be responsible about their pets. If they can't afford to feed, and house a pet snake that they KNOW will become 33 feet long, why purchase it in the first place? Perhaps there should be a law against selling snakes that are going to get larger than an alligator.

It's just not right
