Snakes on a ... move
19.05.12
I won’t be going to Florida any time soon. Probably never. I
suppose you read about the snakes? Oh, yeah. Just when I think
there’s nothing else out there that can possibly increase my level
of peeve someone introduces pythons and anacondas. “How can we
upset Mark this time? Wait! What about giant snakes?”
The massive reptiles are currently congregated in the southern
tip of Florida. Mostly in the Everglades. But they’re gonna move.
Oh, they’ll move. They’re predicted to go north to Georgia and then
travel west to Texas.
How long will it take for ‘em to get here? Well, on average the
female python lays 54 eggs. The male? Not so many. Not only do all
the eggs hatch, but some of ‘em contain twins and several are
two-headed. Hey, I’ve seen the movies.
Won’t be long before you’ll open your newspaper and read,
“Montgomery County resident swallowed by two-headed anaconda while
trimming the hedge. (The resident, not the snake.) Funeral services
will be held in four to six weeks, pending digestive cycle of 28
foot-long Dark Spotted Anaconda.”
