Remind me to never go unarmed in the Everglades.

Snakes. It had to be snakes.

Do they allow python hunting in the glades? seems like harvesting them for the skin could be profitable and good for indigenous animals, don't they make cool boots out of snake skin?

16 foot?  You could make a * * coat out of it.

The story says it was a Burmese python.  You could make a case for hunting it, as an invasive species.

And was I the only one to read the thread title and immediately think of the Colt revolver?

From what I gathered from the article that was what they were doing, looking for snakes that don't belong.  At 16 foot that would be a good dinner, boots, a belt and holster.

A friend of mine used to use a Python to shoot gators.

Hardin says the python had recently consumed a 76-pound female deer that had died.

<----Goes off to plan an occupy Everglades protest. 90% of South Florida uses 150% of the 'Glades available water, or 50% of hippies are eaten by gators, 50% by giant freakin' snakes. We won't put that on the signs, might tip the one literate one off.

Snakes on a boat with a plane motor? Is Samuel L. busy?
