This just in ...... Dramatics .... showing a picture of a ball python.... A race of viloent man eating pythons could be brewing in the everglades. If the Burmese Pythons and African Rock Pythons illegally released in the everglades breed it could create an agressive python big enough to feed on humans....
this may not be word for word but i wrote down everything so i could try to get it right...

1. now everyones goingto be scared of the lil evil ball python cause they couldnt reprort properly and use a picture of a burm or af rock.

2. I doubt that it would get big enough to eat a human .. unless they are either a child or very malnourished or a litte erson to be PC.

3. as much as I dont like burms and afrocks its still about the reptile community and respect for what others like. Although the Happy Hillbilly does have some cool looking animals.

Tom,
I'v seen a few different versions of the article you mentioned. Here is one version: National Geographic

The article has the missing link that I've been searching for. Since we haven't heard much on African Rock Pythons being a concern I've been trying to figure out where "African Rock Pythons" came from in USARK's concession, along with Burms, on Senator Bill Nelson's bill, S373. I've asked a few people in-the-know and they told me that the AR (Animal Rights) people were calling for action against them. I've been trying to figure out what was behind their motive, and now I know.

After reading that article it appears to me that some government scientists are working hand-in-hand with the AR groups. Let's not forget the fact that Rodda played the same hand here awhile back with his bogus report & map, and continues to do so. And people wonder why some of us don't trust our government.

"as much as I dont like burms and afrocks its still about the reptile community and respect for what others like."

You are exactly right, Tom! Unfortunately, the way the game's being played, there will always be a sacrifice at the table during the feast with thine enemies.

Later!
Mike
