Here in Florida diamondbacks are one of the few snake species that appear  
to be making it through the great die off of all life on earth. They are 
very  scarce but they are still around. I have seen three this spring. There 
are still  a fair number of moccasins deep in the swamps, but virtually all 
other so  called common species such as watersnakes have gone the way of the 
 dinosaur. I have a friend who for years has had a standing offer of $50 
for a  male garter snake, that's right, garter snake, but no takers thus far 
despite  concerted efforts by teams of experienced herpers.
 
Did anybody check out the link? It is a website for right wing bible  
beating wackos from Waco. They think it is all about land rights and so do I.  
Anyone who abuses their land or the plants and animals therein (lets add  
water, rocks, and caves too!) should have their land confiscated by big  
government and the land set aside in perpetuity as a park. Their cattle should  
be shot to feed the coyotes, the fences should be torn down, the buildings  
burned, and their asses should be thrown in jail, or better still their asses 
 should be filled with lead along with the cows. That is the way they do it 
in  Africa, shoot a rhino in a game park and get a few rounds in return. 
But  but but, I have a god given right to shoot rhinos, my family is hungry, 
and its  a tradition cuz my daddy did it too. Bam! Another boog for the 
buzzards. I  hear tell they like rednecks too.
 
Speaking of shooting, when are they going to run out of either bullets or  
young men in Mexico? Either one is fine with me. It has been too long since 
I  have been there and want to go back. 
 
Since I am in a global climate change challenged bad mood let me remind all 
 of you again to please please pretty please don't simply reply to the list 
so I  won't have to see your list of your ten favorite things about caves 
repeated a  hundred times along with all the other items that have nothing to 
do with the  subject at hand. 
 
My personal favorite thing about caving is the hot tub! Cold beer, roaring  
bonfire, bad jokes, and beautiful naked women. What's not to love?

Not sure if I would blame global warming or climate change for all of
the indigenous snakes in FL disappearing.

 

From what I have read, all of the pet boas and pythons that folks have
bought, and later discarded, are really wreaking havoc down there.

 

Whaddya think, Sleaze?
