"A 20-foot python, if it grabbed one of us, would bite us and then within just _ instantly _ seconds, it would be wrapped all the way around you and squeezing the life out of you," Gibbons said.



While pythons don't make a habit of attacking people and most aren't large enough to eat a person, Gibbons called the possibility a "nightmare."



"What about the first kitty cat they eat? Or the first little poodle? They'd love poodles, I imagine," he said.




I can't imagine why the media would like this stuff?



I can see somebody that knows what they are talking about joking around and saying junk like that in jest, but to be quoted by the media in a serious context is just irresponsible. He should try to clarify those remarks, but then again they would not get the same print.
