On The Road Again...

I noticed a new pet shop the other day specializing

in exotic and unusual animals.

It wasn't too long ago that a Burmese Python exploded

from ingesting an alligator.

Within the Everglades National Park there is an

approximate python population of 30,000.

A few years ago, my daughter Jen was kayak fishing

in the 10,000 Islands, just southeast of Naples, FL.

She hooked into what she thought was a huge fish--until she

brought it up. Jen had snagged a Burmese Python.

It had a girth of at least 20". I can imagine its length!

She cut the line and let it drift off.

Pythons have been found inside of small airport hangars,

suddenly frightening whoever was inside.

Iguanas, purchased when small , are often released into

the wild when they get too big.

There is a growing iguana population in Southwest Florida.

Sanibel and Captiva have a few reptiles wandering around.

The 6' plus iguanas find their way into back yards.

Just recently, I happened to see a small iguana running

inside of our community.

He was headed for the Clubhouse.

I wondered who was was splashing in the pool after dark...
