Look, I will admit-FREELY-that I'm am 100% petrified of all snakes.  Big, small, it makes not difference to me.  The best snake is a dead snake.

You can disagree, and that's fine.  You'll never change my mind.

Which leads to this.  Reason number 1,845 while I will NEVER live in Florida again (Debbie and I were in Tallahassee the first year we were married).  The first 1,844 are related to all the stories we talk about every week of crazy people and crazy things down there.  Then...there's this.  There is a well documented problem with pythons multiplying in dangerous numbers in the Florida Everglades.

However, THIS story could lead one to believe that these frighteningly enormous, prehistoric-like creatures could be migrating north of the glades and into people's back yards.

Zolfo Springs, Florida resident Aaron Brown and his cousin caught and killed a 300-pound, 16-foot BEAST on their property.

Now the REALLY scary part.  This python was carrying 100 eggs.

100 EGGS?!

I will never move to Florida.  I will move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.  I will never move to Florida.
