One of Florida's U.S. Senators is paying attention to the news..he read about the python killing the little toddler and is now calling for all out war on the slithering reptiles in the Everglades. Better to stop the estimated 100,000 of them there before they follow the path of other invasive plants and animals that have made their way northward to Alabama, like Armadillos. But at least those critters aren't a lethal threat to the kids. The Daily Mail published the photo up above. I presume the snake was tired and had just eaten or there was a squad of sharpshooters just off camera.
[UPDATE: Found the story. The snake is the boy's pet. He's trying to teach it tricks. Honest.]
Hey! Kid!
ReplyDeleteTeach it to coil around you, and slowly squeeze the life out of you, then unhinge it's massive jaws and engulf you, head-first, while your heart may be still be beating.
Now THAT would be a kewl trick!
(Can you say "IDIOT!"?)
