I hunted the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge about five years ago, and as I approached a spot where two creeks converged, I was astounded to see a monstrous python, or anaconda which was approximately 18 inches in diameter, and approximately 20 feet long. The snake was already aware of me, and was in escape mode, the like of which I have never seen or heard about. It was pushing through the water at a rate of speed which pushed a wake almost a foot high, as it "corkscrewed" through the water. I think snakes of that size are a threat to anyone who they decide not to run from. This one was smart enough to know I was a threat and not food, but it's offspring might decide to find out for themselves. If for nothing else, these snakes are doing away with our native wildlife, and when they approach the size of this one, we have an even greater problem.
