I just flew over the Everglades a few weeks ago and was staring out the window thinking about how I would hate to be out in that swamp wading in waist-deep water. Gators and snakes everywhere.
We see gators down here all the time, but rarely are they over 6 or 7 feet in length. A few I've seen in Lake Tarpon were about 10' long. This size will mess up your day. I don't think a grown man could do much if one of these grabbed your body in the water.
The funny thing is people water ski on Lake Tarpon. There are believed to be over 10,000 gators in this lake. I could never swim or ski in gator infested water.
But Jesus...I am just as afraid of 13' pythons. People that release their snakes into the wild should be shot.
