I guess when the pythons eat everything they'll be gone too. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/floridas-everglades-now-have-1000-fewer-pythons/ar-AAxEXk7?ocid=spartanntp You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Not necessarily. All such estimates are subject to gross errors. Pythons are particularly hard to spot and so may well be under counted. Often a Python Census will be taken near what passes for a roadway for the convenience of the census takers but that is unlikely to be truly representative of a population in a less accessible area. Hungry snakes will migrate, but even if they die out completely once the Everglades are gone they will never rebound. Condos do not become wetlands. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | As water warms sea snakes are becoming a problem and pythons are inclined to migrate to warmer places including north if need be. Yachts are reporting more intense barnacle activity, ciguatera poisoning is becoming more common and, most dreaded of all, cone snails seem to be on the rebound. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | BAD NEWS. ('cept maybe its good news for our intrepid Face). It has been determined by scientists employed by the US Geological Survey that the pythons in the Everglades appear to be a hybrid of two separate python species and that this will make them a super predator since the aggressiveness, skills and habitat preferences will make the snakes a worse pest than they already are. Don't know why Face can't rig up a hyperspectral set-up to his GoPro on a QuadCopter and clean out them critters once and for all. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | No major changes. Professional reptile wranglers are doing well enough to prosper, but no open seasons or public bounty ptograms envisioned in the near future. |
