Just when you thought it was safe to come to Florida, comes this story out of Miami Gardens. Frances, a one-year-old Siamese cat pictured here as the huge bulge in the 12-foot Burmese python, was gobbled up while she frolicked in her back yard.Elidia Rodriguez got the cat last year as a post-hurricane gift. She named the cat Frances, after the storm. Now, poor Frances, is Burmese python food.
The snake was captured and taken to the Sense of Wonder Nature Center at AD Barnes National Park.
Earlier this month, authorities say a 13-foot python burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole. In case you missed it, that encounter was a draw..
I thought Florida cats were armed for bear...and pythons.

Protect your little kitties!!!
my husband ssays they used to fee the gators in their backyard creek chicken. (like fryers you get in the grovery not live ones) i guess that kept them from eatting the kittens!
Florida can be such a jungle at times.
Nah... It's strictly a South Florida thing. Yet one more reason to look down snobbishly at the sewage tank that is South Florida.
As far as I know, the rest of our glorious state is python-free.
Hey, I like it here!
