Following the month long Python removal competition designed to remove as many of the snakes from the (area) as possible, there still remains an inordinate amount of pythons. Researchers who have been tracking pythons captured more than one ton over the last three months.

Among the 43 pythons removed researchers found the largest male python ever documented in (G/A/F), measuring 16 feet and weighing more than 140 pounds.

That place is Nope Country.

That's FL all right. The pythons are eating all our gators I'd rather be eaten by a dinosaur than be hugged to death by an fn snake.

 

[theechrisfox]

Where are they removing them to? The article doesn't mention that. Alabama?

 

[toastyToast]

another case of F/F/F

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Florida as fuck. Idiots buying animals they can't handle and dumping them in the everglades..

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Another easy G/A/F considering Florida is the only option where these things exist (albeit as an invasive species).

Why anyone would want a pet snake is beyond me.

The polite way of saying extermination.

I can't believe pet owners just abandoned their snakes to the wild to create this mess.

 

[El Topo]

140lbs? Truly some American pythons.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Can we release a bunch of mongoose/kangaroo hybrids to fight these pythons?

And then film it?

Oh, don't get me wrong. I LOVE snakes. I took care of a beautiful Burmese python because her owner was a pussy and was terrified of her once she started growing/eating chickens. One day I went over to feed her, only to find out he dumped her in the glades, like every other idiot..I'd have gladly taken her.

It's ridiculous..

Most people don't realize all the responsibilities it takes to own a pet. It's no different than the people that just dump their dog or cat somewhere because they don't want it anymore. Happens a lot with dogs. Oh look at the cute puppy! And once it gets older they just dump it, like a piece of trash.

I was sooo pissed out of my mind when I found out. Again, idiot knew I would take her in a heartbeat. Guess he just felt some kinda way about it, and would rather toss her..she was 10ft by that point.

You get pythons in australia. Some of which have been known to eat saltwater crocodiles.

 

[Timedog]

Have you ever just wanted to punch Python meat with a hard body blow? I'll beat a snakes ass.

 

[Regiruler]

I guessed Australia. Meh.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

For once Australia wasn't the target of a snake thread on Gaf. I'm proud.

Yeah I heard on a podcast that the issue of pet gators and pythons in the Everglades has hit pest epidemic levels. Crazy.

 

[ElFly]

All the pythons together weigh over a ton?

Cause that's an useless statistic.

Thanks clickbait.

And then it wraps itself around your arm and crushes your bones into powder.

what did ya think?
one python weights a ton??

I don't know, bruh. These things are pretty invasive, as in they're everywhere out here on acreage properties, but not plague levels like what the Florida Everglades are experiencing.

You thought that there were 43 pythons that weighed a ton individually?

Maybe it was a Titanoboa!

I had thought the largest python in Australia was the carpet python which would never get up to 140 lbs and 16 feet. When I hear that size I instantly think of Burmese or larger, which are all in Asia/Africa/America (as an invasive species).

Let us know how that works out for you :3

 

[Ragnorok64]

Let's actually think about this. One will suffocate you before eating you. The other will horribly tear you limb from limb.

Both of those suck but I'll take being unconscious when I get eaten ovwr having chunks torn off while still alive.

Oh, right.

Yeah, the weight is off, but scrub pythons can get near 7-8m long. Usually weigh much less that that though.

Hurricane Andrew is/was a contributing factor.

By tagging "snitch snakes" with radio trackers, researchers hope to study where the pythons are living in order to catch other snakes. Fifteen adult pythons are currently being surveyed by radio tags so scientists can learn more about the ecological implications of the invasive species.
