Lots of exotic pets get dumped here. South Florida is known as a clearing house for them.

The amazing thing is that there are any small dogs in South Florida at all.

Apparently, they think they can be controlled, seeing as how the alligators weem to win any confrontations. Still, people are amazing at what they will do without giving a thought to what and where they are dumping creatures..

Too bad the pythons won't feed on all the Oscars that are in the canals down there.

The Pythons are getting up there in years. Was it the whole lot of them or just that John Cleese?

We're up to article 3 now.

Released pythons are a major problem for the everglades, as are monitor lizards and all kinds of exotics.

Now if an alligator ate a person and then a python ate the alligator would this be some type of sick, twisted reptilian turducken?
