I have heard others talk about this mysterious 80 acre field.

Even though I'm a native Texan I have a lot of Missouri in me.

SHOW ME. 44 snakes of any species in an 80 acre area seems a little hard to believe.

It is kind of like if you went to TN in the winter and dug up a den of Timbers and then claimed the whole state was infested with rattlesnakes because you found 50 of them in an area less than 1,000 sq. feet. Let's be realistic that is some magical piece of property to support all those predators.

I have a friend who collects gator eggs for the state of FL.

He does the south and his buddy does the north. They disperse the eggs to licensed FL alligator farms. I ask how many caiman did you see this year. Now I've known this guy for 10 years and this has always been his job. I always assumed he saw tons of caimans. He said," I didn't see any. I've never seen any. I once mistakedly collected a clutch of caiman eggs, but I've never seen a live caiman."

I'm shocked to say the least. I think he doesn't understand.

I say," I mean on the airboat, collecting eggs you didn't see any caimans?"

He said," Danny, I have 5 airboats and 1 helicopter and I have never seen 1 caiman."

We know there are caiman.He found eggs. Airboats and helicopters are REALLY loud. But to not see one. I just don't believe people are tripping over caimans OR Burmese pythons.

I just don't. D.C.
