If that is a python (I can't tell) then it is an invasive species that is helping decimate Florida's ecosystem. The govt is asking people to hunt them. There used to be no pythons in Florida and now if I remember correctly there are over 100,000......needs to be killed or removed, they are killing off the local wildlife.

Oh and on an unhijacking note....your Jeep looks great

I'll keep that in mind about the python! For some reason, it looked like a rattler to me...

I believe you've got a cottonmouth there.... definitely not a python or Eastern Dback.

Its not native to Florida, which means it shouldn't be here, thus it needs to be terminated.

It does look more like a cotton mouth...

Budke · **Posted:** Mon May 31, 2010 12:21 pm

That snake has a spoon shape kinda nose which means its non venomous (venomous snakes have more of a triangular head), thus ruling out a cottonmouth or rattlesnake. Plus, that thing doesn't eve have a rattle on its tail!!

What I want to know is why didn't you get out of the jeep and take a better picture?????
WUSSY!!!!! :goink:
