What Ben is referring to is the fact that people who bought Reticulated Pythons to have as pets have been releasing them into the canals and swamp areas when they get too big to keep... for the last decade or so... and they have been thriving... they're coming into residential areas, too... 20-footers have been captured with 15 lb. housecats in their bellies. Some have even made the 6-mile swim over to the first Key.
It's a problem that's not going away. There was a full hour show on it on Discovery or Nat Geo.
Ben, if you're gonna be out in the wild, get yourself a big hunting knife and sheath and keep the blade real sharp... make sure you get one with a serrated/saw edge on the opposite side of the blade. If one grabs you or a member of your family, just saw his head off.
