Florida Everglades on Fire

I just read where the fire doubled in one day, 31,000 acres are burning.

Last night I watched a documentary on the Python explosion in the everglades so I'm hoping a whole lot of snakes got their pink slip.

The snakes can go in the water and underground. They are not vegetarians.
So unfortunately, pythons aren't the ones who are getting a "pink slip".
Fire?
That explains the hazy sky to the west of me
Oh and pythons are not native to Florida, They escaped in one the the hurricanes and went bonkers breeding and killing all the native wildlife. On a good note they do eat gators.
Geesh - I guess your climate must be perfect for them. That they eat gators is a good thing, but I'm not sure which one I'd prefer. Gators I think. Snakes are really gross. Anyone that posts a pic of a snake, I immediately hide the post.

That the pythons got loose and are breeding like mad is scary, imo.
"On a good note they do eat gators."

hmmm

Ummm...Fay? Replacing gators with snakes that EAT gators isn't much of an improvement. Some might even claim the snakes are WORSE...on account of they are capable of EATING GATORS!
DAYUM!! uh oh

Put a post-it note over that part of the screen.

OK - here's the real deal, y'all. Ready?
There are NO pythons in Florida...
None.
Neither are there any other carnivorous reptiles capable of devouring a person...
NO 'gators.
And there are NO venomous serpents, either...
Not a one!

Those are all cleverly conceived & propagated myths to keep snow birds from completing overrunning the state.

PYTHONS?!?!
doh Good Grief...Some folks will fall for ANYthing! roll eyes
Stupid snow birds rolling on the floor laughing

You may be right Mic, one only knows we are fed tons of propaganda, however this one I do believe because I've seen the python competitions when they open season to python catching.
I would taste that recipe but I wouldn't make it myself. I like to eat gator though. Do you Mic?
The good news...
Python is featured on "Everglades Pizza" smile

The bad news...
Python is laced with mercury sad


wow
So prob'ly not a good idea to make it one's daily fare.
sigh

cowboy
Yep, I remember the "soul food restaurants". Over salted for the blood pressure. Wrong fats for the deadly blood lipids. Chared meat contributes the cercinogens. Cultural heaven. Like rap. So what if no lyrics really rhyme? It be down and cool, homie.
I haven't heard of any chupacabras in FL yet, just pythons.
uh oh


That looks alot like the canine version chupacabra, Fay...
In Clearwater, FL

Not nice Mic - I scare easily because I watch too much sci-fy

I saw a bear at my apartments in Orlando (twice) due to all the Orlando construction taken over the city and in Tampa it is, coyotes, gators and snakes.
I hope I never need to use a shot gun. Luckily I do not live near the Everglades, I have enough wild life right here on the outskirts of the city.
Nope that doesn't work for me. I doubt I would have the strength to even pull the sling shot back far enough. Also did you see how close he was, that doesn't work for me either.
sigh

Maybe if you got a membership at the local Y? flex
dunno

Work with me here, Fay!!!
frustrated

I think I would feel safest with a great big dog for protection at least when I used to have big dogs I always felt safe. With the Chihuahua not so much, I'm the protector.
And...( drum roll.
.

Music maestro..
