    ....worth a try, obviously what they are doing now is not working.

    I remember once at Boy Scout camp years ago, we were having a week long nature hunt; 3-points for snake, 1-point for frog etc, and my troop was in the lead by far. And then some kid in another troop found a mother snake laying a hundred little snakes, @ 3 points each, and that's how we lost. Must've been a garter snake as Wikipedia says they have 80 babbies.

    Shame what is going on in South Florida.

    I had the opportunity to be around a 14 ft. Burmese Python at a reptile society meeting last fall. A German guy brought it in a Coleman type plastic chest in a bag. He opened the bag (in back of room, a Stanford employee was speaking) during the meeting and slowly the snake stuck it head up.

    During the break, some teenagers wanted pics of it around their shoulders. I wasn't comfortable picking up a snake that big that I don't know, although I'm fine with smaller docile snakes. I did help lift it's back section off the table as it slithered along. Weird how they let their back end just fall from the table to chair to floor as they move along, they are pretty tough.

    It was a male Burmese which is not nearly as heavy as a female. The pythons that look scary and you have to be very careful with are the Reticulated Pythons, one of the two largest snakes. Other one is the Anaconda. Some stories of people gone missing the Amazon. :eek:
