Readers of this blog may already know I am something of an alarmist (or, to use some positive spin, a canary in the coal-mine) about the growing population of huge pythons in Florida. Remember, one
killed a little child near Tampa last Summer! And anything that can take on a gator and win...well, time for concern!
Being a resident of Alabama, I have more than just a passing interest. I can be in Florida, albeit the Panhandle, after a relatively short drive. So snakes in Florida = soon-to-be snakes in Alabama. This USGS map shows how large a potion of Alabama there is in which the pythons would find the weather
hospitable. Oh Joy!
Anyway,
Sunday night on "Nature", a story about the advancing hoard, the writhing army, the slithering mass. Check your local listing.
Unlike most residents of the Sunshine State, the snakes are not moving to the South toward Miami. They're headed toward
me.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Love your map Tim. That's hilarious! Are you one of those people who, when you see a snake in the road, you go out of your way to kill it?
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget Hulk Hogan's 20 inch "pythons."

Hey Jay...I think if you use an html tag you can post a link in comments here. Don't think it is possible to post pics in a comment.
ReplyDeleteHow do I use an "HTML tag?"
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling with quill pens, let alone computers!
When Tim sees a snake in the road, he calls Gov. Riley on his cell phone. The guv sends out a hundred troopers in full SWAT gear.
ReplyDeleteJay this is a basic html tag.
