Yes - that is what the photo is suppose to show; but like I said - the show I saw used a lot of forensic evidence which I don't remember all the details of; but it went into the injuries to the snake if the gator had ripped from the inside, to the digestive (or lack thereof) evidence. I'm not interested in searching Discovery Channel.com for a replay - but if anyone does find something, one way or the other, I'd like to see it again.

well yeah, I agree. But I think the posters who are complaining about people releasing snakes into the wild, are referring to the snakes that are not native/natural to the area. The solution would be to not buy these wild animals in the first place, or if you didn't want to keep it anymore, relinquish it to the appropriate authorities instead of releasing it into the neighborhood bushes/lake. But, that would be too responsible.:rolleyes:

Absolutely. People need to use better judgement when it comes to possessing "exotic" pets. Iguanas have become a big problem down here in South Florida. Southwest Florida, in and around the Naples/Marco Island/Boca Grande area, has a huge iguana problem.

A week or so ago, I headed out to the airport to observe aircraft arriving and departing. On the perimeter road of KPBI near the cargo terminal, crossing the street taking his/her sweet time, was a two foot long iguana.

Speaking of Iguana
 
The wife and I were coming back from MIA a few months ago and saw lot's of Iguanas around Glades Ave off of the FTP.
At least they are not meat eaters.:eek:

This applies to cats, too, but they're fuzzy and cute so maybe it doesn't.:mad:

That's a big difference IMO. They may be a nuisance, but they're not out there killing the indigenous wildlife. Feral cats can have a huge impact on small species because they love to have sex and are great at killing things.

I guess we are having a huge impact on small species as well!!! I dont know about ya'll, but that bt about feral cats kinda sounds familiar.

You must be a cat man. A rare breed indeed. The FAs are going to love you someday.
