This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life!. Whoever colored in all that green onto the map needs to get a grip on some actual reality.
I am at least glad it says "BOGUS" on this particular so-called projected "range" map, but I'm quite sure the original one that was presented to the general public and certain legislation sure as hell didn't!

projection based on global warming models.....
so it is a guess based upon earlier guesses?

hahah yeah, I'm going to keep my retics outside in AMarillo!
NOT!
/facepalm. I've had people ask about that map and the "danger" my snakes represent for the last 2 years. I try to explain I have to heat them because they'll start getting sick in the damn 60s! Let alone today, with a low of 20! But of course it says USGS so people buy it.

We wouldn't have 6 and a half billion people if you had to be beautiful to get laid.
Oh yeah, I can really see them shining 16 foot Burms on the rock cuts with alterna. lol

It will be interesting to see some Sanderson locality burms running around in West Texas...haha!!
-----

Yeah, I'm sure John will jump on those right away. lol
-----
Wow burms everywhere! I saw we ban pythons so this doesn't......now about that global warming, feral cat, exotic fish, illegal immigration, debt, and a myriad of problems...well it's the pythons fault
-----
I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion about me because I'm not the boogieman................. I'm real.
Not that I don't think we are screwing up our environment with polution of all of kinds, because I do, but should we call this the "Al Gore" python map? WTF are they thinking! Get a grip for goodness sakes. I also agree that the pythons are just taking the focus off of all of our problems and the people of power are using them as such.
Joe
Total crap but I'd still like to know what Dip Stick came up with that.
If it's warm enough for that map to be a reality by 2100 there will be much worse things to truely need to worry about.
-----
Randy Whittington
That's 100% CORRECT Randy. Pythons will definitely be the very LAST thing man-kind will be worrying about if it is anything even CLOSE to that. As a matter of fact, many of those states on the map won't even exist anymore due to them being under the ocean. Not to mention food crops, housing, and general outright world-wide mayhem.
If this were the case, we could only hope there are many pythons established around in the U.S., as we will have to utilize them among many other things to eat just to stay alive..LOL!

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
That map is way rediculous. I don't think those things can even make it in northern Florida, much less further north.
That's right Joe,......no chance of enduring the winters most anywhere else in the country. Even if they were to find shelter to keep from freezing temporarily for the time being, they would die off soon enough from respiratory sickness, much less thrive and propagate. As many of us know, they simply cannot deal with those kind of temps.

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
Doug, you know what I find craziest about this stupid map---They are showing a "problem with PYTHONS in realtion to GLOBAL WARMING". Shouldn't GLOBAL WARMING be the problem? WTF Lets do a map of the PYTHON problem after a nuclear explosion!! What would that map look like. 
LOL!!,..I know man, I can think of MILLIONS of other FAR more important things to be immediately concerned with if the environment was anything close to getting that bad..LMAO!!.....it was comical as all hell that some dork(s) decided to illustrate projected python ranges with it. It was purely for "shock" value for the general public to gasp and get worked up over.
It was a perfect "palm-face" moment..
~Doug

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
Look on the good side. At least they might help with all the ferrell cats which are the real problem in this country and all over the world.

I didn't read all the comments, so it may have been already stated. The caption says based on predicted "Global Warming", lol.

I saw a show on Animal Planet I think, that sent some guys into New York city to see if it were possible for the Burms to establich a colony up there, and to see if possibly there were any already there! What was "Joe Wasilewsky" thinking to take part in such a ridiculous study?

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
So the parts of Texas and the Southwest that are in the throes of an epic drought are suddenly (in geophysical time) supposed to become tropical so Burmese pythons can live there? I am not worried about the San Joaquin Valley in California, though; the sharks will take care of that, as sea levels rise and salt water intrusion occurs.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.
its froggin IDIOCY!!!
the truly sad part is the gov.biologist that created this LOAD OF FECAL MATTER are probably making 6plus figures WITH gov. benefits, to color pictures. we(herpers) should really try to discredit these people, as a matter of "ethics" they should not be able to hold any credentials for biology without understanding the concept of biology! is there no board of review? they can be held to account for publishing blatant misinformation? like doctors, and lawyers have???

Actually I think it would be cool to be flipping rocks in Kansas in April and finding an albino burmese python along with a great plains ratsnake, milksnakes and a bunch of ringnecks........it could happen................. lol

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
Does that mean here in arizona we will be tropical and have iggies and all such and alligators and crocs and boas, you know they already occur fifty miles from the border. Oh and Cantils too, I wonder if we will have sea snakes and sea turtles, as the Colorado river basin floods from the polar meltoff. Cool and dolfins too. Dang thats going to be great
I am thinking, burms will be the very least of our problems. What about tropical diseases in New york city, hahahahahahahaha
I think our education system is failing us. Cheers

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"
Actually a more biologically sound prediction would be, by the time Burms migrate to New Jersey, They would physically be like pine snakes. As that what is supported there for large constrictors.
That is what I am waiting for, some nice locality-specific Burlington and Ocean County Burms..LOL!..

But then they wouldn't be able to cut back on the ferrell cat population. That was the only up side I could find in the whole deal. lol
-----
Randy Whittington
The newly established Harpy eagles would take care of the feral cats.
That would be awesome!

U got it
I agree that the map, wherever it's really from, is frivolous and irresponsible, especially because it diverts attention away from way more serious environmental problems (e.g., rising sea levels, stronger and more frequent storms, changing patterns of rainfall, shifting of crop "belts", etc.).
The map in itself may be fraudulent or misguided, but, whether you choose to believe it or not, global climate change due to an enhanced greenhouse effect is REAL. We humans are a very messy lot!
Tom, I mentioned something like this way up in the thread, and I agree with you. Not trying to be an ultra tree hugger or anything, but we are definitely screwing up our planet. The map is just rediculous though, actually very funny. My good friend always argues that it is just a cycle and we are not damaging our planet with car fumes, ect. I just tell him if that is true, go into the garage and start your car with the garage door shut. I will come get you in a few hours and we will discuss it further.
The worlds rainforests used to cover about 14% of the earth. There are only about 6% of the worlds rainforests left and the rate they are being cut down is truely scary. If things don't change drastically they estimate there won't be any left in about 40 years. Those numbers are unfortunatly based on facts.
-----
Randy Whittington
Randy, that is truly scary and yes, based on facts. Guess we won't need air anymore. Our kids our in big trouble.
Joe
No it isn't.
They stopped to soon. It should go all the way to the great lakes, then west through South Dakota, through Idaho and Washington, and up the coast of B.C. canada.
If those projections are true, proliferation of pythons would be the least of our troubles.

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
Awesome! Maybe the Burms will spread all over the southern US and eat all the feral cats and dogs. Oops, did I say that out loud?
