Boy, their pics suck:  Python swallows cat in Florida backyard Miami Gardens, Florida - Elidia Rodriguez of Miami Gardens had been looking for her year-old Siamese cat for two days when her son pointed out the bulging Burmese python slithering in her backyard. Experts say that bulge in the 12-foot snake is probably the missing 15-pound cat. Rodriguez got the cat last year as a post-hurricane gift. She named the cat Frances, after the storm. The snake was spotted in Rodriguez's backyard yesterday. Experts with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue antivenin unit says Frances wouldn't have stood a chance against the larger predator. The snake was captured and taken to the Sense of Wonder Nature Center at AD Barnes National Park. Earlier this month, authorities say a 13-foot python burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole.

WTF!
| This is getting to be a serious situation in South FL, a client of ours manages a number of places and Python encounters are becomming pretty frequent. They are breeding & multiplying in the Everglades, their main predator is the alligator. Becoming a primary source of food according to park rangers. Matter of time before some toddler gets killed. Fuckers got some serious fangs and can put a hurting on you quick. Think I'd be carrying a Serbu Super Shorty in a drop leg holster if I were further south. |
