Guest Admiral C Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-07-01-python-strangles-child_N.htm Of course the header, a 2 year old girl being killed by an illegally kept Burmese python, is terrible news and nothing I would exploit, if go to the bottom of the article it mentions how escaped snakes such these have begun breeding in the Everglades. The timeline is too modern for Pulp but the information, the fact that they can escape and breed, the upper end on size and weight, all are useful in crafting a Pulp scenario. This could also be used whole cloth as the backdrop for Dark Champions adventure too. Upon further Googling I found this, this, this, and this which all have further and even more game mine-able information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Re: Escaped Python Loose in Everglades! Also FL is getting African giant rats breeding in some localities. These kind of transplants are not as uncommon as you would like to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Re: Escaped Python Loose in Everglades! The Everglades has all kinds of interesting formerly-kept things in it. I remember a story a while back about a Burmese python and Gator fight. Thing went on for hours. I'm not sure if there was a clear victor there, both were pretty messed up at the end IIRC.

DusterBoy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Re: Escaped Python Loose in Everglades! I can easily imagine that escaped python swallowing some innocent, not-too-bright co-ed who has gotten lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
