Are these pythons edible (I mean “tasty” edible)?

Oops. Never mind. I just read this: discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury.

It's just when I saw that snake stretched out, I saw a lot of filet mignons side-by-side.

[[...”Once it slithered out in the road, I got to see the massive size of this thing and realised we’re getting into a fight a little bit more intense than I thought we were getting into,” he says]]

Why? I beleive the bounty is for the snakes dead or alive if im not mistaken? Don’t understand why the snake hunters risk anything by capturing them alive in many cases.

A friend of my dads had one, a big one. It got out of it’s enclosure, not cage, full room. Curled up with him while he was napping and squeezed him to death.

Authorities encourage people around the world to buy python leather from Florida, and discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury.

Used to be you could make thermometers out of them.

US snake hunters fight pythons big enough to devour gators

The obvious way to fight them is to get Chinese genetic engineers start making bigger aligators instead of viruses.

and discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury.

Am I the only one who now needs a giant python thermometer?

It seems to me that this is a contest worthy of investment.

They should also extend the contest into parts, with different prizes. Longest, heaviest, largest numbers, and I’m sure there are other variables.

The top ten of each category should get prizes.

Friday fun thread.

It's always a chuckle when we here in the Sunshine State read stuff like this, from folks who just ain't from around here, and the idea of gators and big snakes as part of the landscape leaves them somewhat gobsmacked.

And let's not forget iguanas...

Maybe someone can post that picture of the huge gator and python that both died trying to eat the other. ?
