It is a law here in Texas anyway

that you can not have a snake that can grow to be over six foot long. Burmese pythons can get to be twenty foot and 250 lbs. and are being released when they get too big [in Florida] and truly messin' with the ecosystem in the Everglades.

Alice is 5 foot and I am told she will not get any bigger...just fatter....she weighs about 12 lbs. She was captive bred. The snake I pulled off of Cameron was 4 foot and maybe 8 lbs. He was wild caught. I was stupid for buying him.

No matter what species of python they can exert 5 lbs. of pressure per sq. inch of surface area of their body.

Snakes survived whatever killed dinosaurs, [along with crocs and gators]...ya just need to leave them be.

Bowser I agree with you. I got rid of Congo...[the snake that wrapped around my boys' neck.]
Alice can not be released in the wild...and I rescued her from a neglectful family. When she dies....I am done. DONE!!!!!!!!
