i know i've posted about these creatures before, but it is really not funny that they may well be expanding their territories.

Giant Burmese pythons once were the rage as pets — now these big beasts, many capable of swallowing a gator, could be slithering to a swamp near you. | PHOTOS

Holy Sh*t! I HATE SNAKES!!! SNAKES big enough to eat gators, now that has to be one hell of a SNAKE!!! I HATE SNAKES!!! Florida is loaded with them, but most can not eat gators! I HATE SNAKES! This year, while I was in FL, I saw a "SNAKE" 3 times, ( I HATE SNAKES) one on my front walk going into our villa, & two in our back yard. I really hoped it was the same SNAKE, (I HATE SNAKES) as I didn't want it to be "3 seperate" SNAKES on our property!!! Oh yeah, did I mention, I HATE SNAKES!!!

And now, this year, in addition to SNAKES, we have iguanas, that come and dine on my impatients plants, that I planted all around a villa! Do iguanas eat SNAKES, & or do SNAKES eat iguanas. Lets hope one cancels out the other!!! (I HATE SNAKES)

Yeah, but does a mongoose also eat iguanas, that would be great if they did! I had the bajesus scared out of me back in April. That's when I saw this iguana about 2 foot long body, & 4 foot long tail. It was slowly walking away down my front walk after dining on my impatients, then all of a sudden, it hunched up it's back like a cat, & it took off running so damn fast, faster then any cat I ever saw run!!! I had no idea they were so fast, I always thought they just lurked slowly along, not so!!!:shock: Scary!!!

This is the same sort of stupidity among people who own cats and dogs.  They get this cute and fluffy baby cat or dog, then it grows up.  It is no longer the cute and fluffy baby and the kids get bored with it and it is more work than it is worth.  The dimwits who do this have no idea what a huge effect they are having on the area.

This is one of the reasons I have a ball python.  He will never grow large enough to eat a dog or cat.  I'd never release him into the outdoors anyway.  If I had to get rid of Fuzzy, I'd take him to the zoo.

Oh, and Cars?  I'd like to have an iguana one day, too!!!  :giantgrin:

Well now UTR, someday if I was to ever able to trap one, I'd be happy to send it to you! ::chuckle:: :bigwink: :cool: (But don't hold your breath though :P :D)

snakes eat iguanas - iguanas are vegitarians

can't have a mongoose in the U.S. - it's illegal to import them except as zoo animals.

nothing wrong with snakes - they serve a very vital purpose in the food chain (except when idiots release non-native snakes into the environment).

Well the SNAKE (I HATE SNAKES) that would be able to eat the iguana I saw ( it was about 3 to 4 lbs) would have to be pretty monsterous itslef (I HATE SNAKES) to gulp down something so big! The SNAKES ( I HATE SNAKES) I saw were maybe 4 feet long, shiney black, & only maybe 1" in diameter! ( I HATE SNAKES) So. . . .
