eek.. that's awful :<
i shouldnt have read that while eating, grosses me out for some reason. they have some enormous pythons in the everglades nearby, that's why I don't run on the levee. One day someone is going to get nabbed :/
you used to have to be very careful of gators around here.. they have it under control now. The babies used to slip through the grids and go into the canals nearby, then grow and you'd see full sized gators nearby, where people jet ski/boat/fish etc.. oh and where some idiot kids (me & my friends) used to jump off the bridge into the canal.
once we jumped into the canal, and we were swimming to the shore, and I saw a huge water moccasin swim across my friend's back.
really, we were lucky.. lmao.
Snakes freak me out way more than gators.
I once had a moccasin chase me by the canal too. I thought it was dead, so I snagged it with a fishing pole hook. I flung it onto the land. As soon as it hit land, it came right at me. I went USAIN BOLT status. I actually got some folks in a boat to give me a ride across the canal, because I had to run from "my side" around to the other side as it came after me. LMFAO.
I would seriously shit myself if I saw a python like that.
