Global Warming brings on some big snakes…

We’ve all seen that picture on the internet of the alligator verse python battle. If you haven’t you fail on the internet and I went as far as digging up the picture to show you. http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Video/051006/n_scarborough_python_051006.300w.jpg Well the internet now predicts that they will invade the USA because of global warming. I am not going to point the finger because I for one believe global warming is happening (but what is causing it and or attributing is up for grab) but why do we have to blame global warming for everything. Sure the pythons can find the warmer weather more suited for them to live in but the real problem here is letting people have them for pets. Pythons happen to grow up to and sometimes over twenty feet and are a couple hundred pounds. Why do you need a potentially twenty foot snake as a pet, I have no idea. But once they get too big or the owner is tired of caring for it they tend to just release it. Florida has snakes, no problem right? Wrong. Sure these overgrown snakes are no anaconda but they still have plenty of reasons to be a threat. Besides eating native animals and scaring the also indigenous old ladies of Florida to death the snakes are not poisonous and won’t probably eat you alive.
