Cat-killing python captured in Florida

[SoonerP226]

They are capable of killing humans. I'm not aware of any yet, but I could be wrong.

In high school biology (IIRC), our teacher told us about two incidents involving large pythons attacking their owners, with one being a fatality and the other nearly so. Both snakes had formerly been docile, and both incidents involved feeding the snakes; as I recall, they hadn't cleaned up well enough after preparing the food, or something like that, and the snakes struck on scent. This would've been in the early '80s when he told us.

Same with feral cats please!

No kidding. OKC should open up a two week suppressed rimfire season out at Hefner Lake.

You might need 2 hoes, one for a distraction....

Would that explain the lack of snakes around truck stops?

If we could train them to only eat cats I'd say release em everywhere!

Maybe I could make a few bucks raising and training pythons. Anybody got any sure fire training methods?

Cats eat birds, birds eat bugs....snakes eat cats. I kill snakes and cats.....and bugs.
