Three scary things are moving north out of Florida this week: a surging Mitt Romney, a wounded Newt Gingrich, and Burmese pythons.
Romney’s big win over Gingrich has been covered enough. But there can never be enough coverage of Burmese pythons and anacondas moving north, especially when they are accompanied by really cool pictures like the one in this story in The Washington Post.
The chilling news: what doesn’t kill the snakes makes them stronger, just like Newt Gingrich.
Pythons are being captured in the Glades and relocated, but where?
Tennessee winters are probably too cold, but what of the future Bass Pro Pyramid, with its indoor climate-controlled swamp? Imagine a python wrapped around a gator under the boardwalk, or snagging in mid-air a flying Asian carp, another proliferating import. The Post ran an A.P. picture of a 20-footer. That’s a tourist attraction waiting to happen.
