    Terrell never walked up to the snake to do the reporter thing by touching it and showing special details. Smart man!

      Yeah way more efficient than trying to wrangle a beast of a snake. I’d personally shoot them and leave them for gator food.

      Actually it wont. I shot a 7 foot python with a 357 magnum twice. One in the head and one in the neck and he survived but i grabbed him.

      To my understanding someone drove by a few minutes after he killed the snake. He was able to flag them down and they stopped to see if he needed help. A lot of python hunters survey the same area at night since a lot of the snakes hang around/hunt in this area.

      They are an invasive animal which is killing off the small mammals. You must kill as many of these garbage snakes as you can regardless of the size. Animal lovers can look at the dogs and cats and their abuse and leave the snake business alone.

    • @alittlebitofeverything2968
      @alittlebitofeverything2968 5 лет назад

      Catherine Buck I didn’t say to take the wild snake. You completely missed my point. Yes there are ppl who will take them if the owner doesn’t want them. This problem arose in the 80’s bcppl were smuggling them over. Once they got big then ppl started to let them go. Then they started multiplying. If raised properly these snakes aren’t bad. You just can’t let pets in wild when u don’t want them bc this is the result. That was my point
