We Found a HUGE BURMESE PYTHON!! (Herping in Florida Part 2) 

My dad used to drive a semi truck when I was younger and he always said Florida was one of his least favourite states, not because of the weather or nature, but because the people there "didn't know how to drive" 😂

LOL omggg

Love seeing and hearing about these wild snakes. Emily know so much of the top of her head about snakes.❤❤❤

As a brazilian, that phrase was exactly what I expected to hear about Florida.

that's because everyone there IS a crackhead XD

same

'Noooo I dont wanna go!!'

​@@just5fornowI heard this in Ed's voice lol

@@just5fornow Ed mood 😂

All snakes are her children, lol

This! It definitely sucks but you're totally right, it's important to save the ecosystem there before it's completely destroyed. So many ppl get mad at the ppl that hunt them but they don't think about the devastation theses invasive snakes are causing the everglades.

I feel so bad for that snake. It's not its fault that it's invasive, but I understand why it can't stay in the Everglades. Unfortunate but necessary. 😮‍💨

It sucks that it has to be "disposed of" because of how the laws are written. Because they can no longer be kept in captivity they have to be killed. I know there are people who catch wild tegus (another invasive species) and sell them to people outside of the state as pets

@beccaroo1990 I'm happy there are others who get it. I've had people react very negatively over this exact issue.

@oceanbreezeyy764 I do too. I LOVE animals, and I have a soft spot for the ones that are misunderstood and underappreciated. I do understand why this is necessary. I just wish there was a way to make each deayh count for something more. I know they can't be released in the wild in Chile, and they are endangered there because they are hunted for meat. I almost wish they could ship what is caught over there. Though I will be the first to admit I don't know anything about snake meat, how long it lasts, if it can be frozen or if there are even resources that would make such a thing possible...

Florida is full of bad people in general, awesome wildlife, but not-so-awesome residents. I speak from living there for a few years. But I've also met very cool people there so I guess its like anywhere else.

Loved in Florida?

​@@rulingmoss5599 I hope you don't live there as you are not a nice person.

for me it only goy bad from the past 4 years from everyone moving here

Florida drivers are another breed 😂

They have beautiful wings too. I don't think they can fly, but the wings are bright pink with black border. They probably use them to startle predators.

We kill them because they wreck plants. We may not have to kill them if birds and animals would eat them, but they are apparently inedible to everything!!!

It’s actually what made me love snakes at 7 yrs old. I probably would’ve been like everyone else, hating snakes. But this channel showed me how much snakes are misunderstood.

I don't even know anything about bugs and was still blown away. They were gorgeous

❤❤❤❤

Yes tourists and also transplants. And don't get me started on how everyone freaks out on the road when it's raining lol

I'm just thinking of it as: the more that are 'disposed of' now, the less descendants they will have that would have to meet the same fate. It's sad but necessary.

hognoses are the BEST PETS! they're cute, with their little noses, they dig with those wittle noses, they hide in sand with their wittle noses, they're so sweet and cute! and over time i bet that snake will be so used to you, he will not budge when you pick him up

@@cattabyss When I purchased him, the store wouldn't even pick him up to bag him, they made me do it 😂 he was completely harmless and they warned me that he bites, he's just a little hissy but that's what I love about him 😊

And pretty soon you'll have multiple like me hahaha! I have 3 hognose, 2 ball pythons, a garter that I rescued, and a rainbow boa! I went from 1 to 7 real quick hahaha

@@ReevyMotovlogs hahaha they had a bad experience with him i guess! but he knew he was gonna get out of there if he went with you, so he just stayed hissy and didn't bite you :) now he's in a great home, and soon enough you'll be soooo close!

@@JodiLeaSnakeQueen wow! that's a lot of snakies! i love it!

I know they don’t just let the dogs run loose, handlers are always with them.

I think they do. They’ve discussed their helping process a bit in some of their other vids about it. Plus with how vigilant these two are about proper animal care, i’m sure they do.

They have mentioned so specifically after seeing a fungus infected snake, so I'd imagine so

I wish i could visit her zoo too but i'm in germany😢

I'm in the UK too. Hopefully one day we will all be able to pop over for a visit at their zoo! It's now on my bucket list

I'm not in the UK but well over like 18hrs away. It sucks! 😭

Yes same here but i'm from the Netherlands

@@JodiLeaSnakeQueen26 hours of driving from CA for me 😢 i forget how huge the US is sometimes

A median strip divides roads.

Yeah, it's sad that the animal has to die, but at the same time, one female leads to hundreds of more. And as emily said, they are destroying the natural ecosystem horribly.

There are so many other options, I'm extremely disturbed she found that snake but will willingly murder it

I think it's unfortunate that a lot of species, not just burms, are banned in a variety of places. But then I look at it from a 'potential contamination' kind of mindset. There are a lot of really incredible, law-abiding animal owners in the world, but it only takes one person: one person releasing a breeding pair into a habitat they're not native to, where they gain a foothold and out-compete all the local species. It would be cool if there were licensing programs to own potentially invasive species-- but then again it only takes one person acting in bad faith to woopsie daisy an entire ecosystem. Personally I'd like to see tougher laws on what plants you can have as well. Not everything non-native to an area will become invasive, but I do feel we're often like "Well there's a market for it/well it's cute/well it prooobably fiiiine" xD for both animals and plants.

Environmental story telling 😂

Yes, that is what I was going to say

That’s a wild burm.

This was my exact thought!
