So not far from our house is a guy who is apparently some world guru on snakes and he is a snake catcher by profession. He has a pretty impressive huge shed in which he keeps them. The protected species he has to release, others he can euthanase. I stay well away from that shed.
However he’s not a bad guy, stops to chat if he walks past, always calls out hello etc.
On Sunday I saw him walking his dog, he said hello then told me he is just back from working with some forestry people in Florida. Apparently he is well renowned for his knowledge on Burmese Pythons of which there are said to be untold numbers of them in the swamps down there. Some grow to 16 plus feet long!! They are not native to the US and are decimating the wildlife. They can easily take down a cat or a smaller dog. He tells me they are working with some South East Asian departments trying to breed sterile male pythons who will mate but not produce viable offspring.
Gee, some people have different jobs. Amazing.
