<p>It bothers me that more is not being done with regard to the snake invasion. We all know of the big snakes caught and the declining mammal population but to see it first hand is something different altogether. I have come to the realization that perhaps it is too late.</p>

<p>For instance, I drive 41 generally twice a week and have for a good long while. Years ago, the early morning fog would give way to raccoons, possums and the like as road kill from the night before. Early AM…</p>

<p>For instance, I drive 41 generally twice a week and have for a good long while. Years ago, the early morning fog would give way to raccoons, possums and the like as road kill from the night before. Early AM would bring hundreds of rabbits feeding in the grass on the side of the road. I traveled slow to both avoid and enjoy the wildlife.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, all I see is the unfortunate alligator hit by a car and the equally unlucky vulture that was feeding. NO rabbits whatsoever, NO mammal roadkill. These animals are just gone. Using roadkill as a proxy for a population may not be the best measure but it is sending a message for sure.</p>

<p>The Python hunt is admirable but removing 100 of 10,000 will not make a dent.</p>

<p>What can be done? I fear it is too late for our native critters. Sad.</p> the water is still high about…tag:gladesgodeep.ning.com,2016-01-26:2541133:Comment:701312016-01-26T18:53:31.898ZEduardo Delamazahttps://gladesgodeep.ning.com/profile/EduardoDelamaza

<p>Has anyone been out in the Loop Road part of Big Cypress? How high is the water north of Loop Road? I have decided to try my luck in the area of the old southern terminus of the trail. Any info on trail conditions would be great.</p>

<p>You can see it, between the two pilings in the middle of the shot.</p>

<p>From the picture it looks like it wasn't Angelfish Creek, but Pumpkin Creek, just to the south.</p>

<p>You Herp folks on the net, is that the target species or some other snake like creature?…</p>

<p>Got a call today from a buddy asking for a snake ID. He was just north of Angelfish Creek (Out just east of biscayne bay, just north of Key Largo and just south of the park) when he came across what sounded like a python. He said it was 6'-8' long and saddle brown color.</p>

<p>Sounds like the target species to me...</p>

<p>If they're there, we finally found a solution for the pesky racoons on elliot!</p>

<p>Yeah I went out to Holey Land and walked around a little. Spent a few hours. I think I am going to check out a few more places. I did see 1 deer. Found a spot where some one had made for hunting. They had ran a big area down with a tracked vehicle.I think I would need some type of offroad vehicle to get around.It was really dry. I saw smoke from a small fire probably less than 100 acres burning.</p>
