The Eastern Diamondback is not supposed to grow much more than 8’, but at St. Augustine of St. Johns County, Florida, United States November 1^st 2009 a 15 foot monster as caught at the Outlet Mall. The Eastern Diamondback (crotalus adamanteus) is the largest and heaviest of the Rattlesnakes and is a member of the venomous pit vipers. The pits relate to the heat sensor pits that enable them to pick up the infra Red heat signature of their prey. The world’s longest venomous snake is the Black Mamba growing to 14 feet. The books may have to be re written now. Unfortunately the snake was killed and a trapper took it away, no real measurements were taken and no one thought to get the trappers name, so all there is left as proof are the pictures. Later reports say it was just over 7 foot long but looking at those pictures I think otherwise especially if the size of its head and fangs are anything to go by.

The team of scientists working for Reptile and Amphibian Ecology International discovered 30 new species of frog a slug-sucking snake, they also identified four new species of lungless salamanders,a stick inset, a very small scaly-eyed gecko (Lepidoblepharis buschwaldii) and a bushmster the worlds longest viper.

Most of the new animals were discovered in the forests of Cerro Pata de Pájaro, a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Its cloud forests are particularly fecund: 14 of the 30 new species of frog discovered were found in a patch of cloud forest just a couple of miles wide.

The newly-discovered frogs are “rain” frogs of the genus Pristimantis, which lay their eggs in trees.

One of the frogs is a so-called glass frog that has a transparent chest.

Scientists at the Environment agency are afraid that the humble pet goldfish could force the native Crucian carp out of existence. 

Goldfish that have escaped ponds in the floods and illegally released pets are to blame.

The agency research has shown that the goldfish are not only competing for food and space but are breeding with the English Crucian Carp. The resulting hybrids are causing further competitive problems.

The Crucian Carp has no problems thriving in the British Isles, but unfortunately the introduction of the goldfish has tipped the balance in favour of the goldfish. The Crucian’s are suffering from loss of habitat and introduced disease.

Research shows cause for major ecological concern because not only are the offspring capable of out-competing Crucian carp but they are also capable of reproducing and further interbreeding with pure stocks.

Phil Bolton of the Environment agency said: “We are developing a Crucian Carp conservation plan that will be available within the next few months and we have nearly completed a field guide that will give anglers and fisheries managers detailed information on identifying Crucian carp.

“This will enable accurate data to be drawn up showing the whereabouts of Crucian populations and will aid their long term protection.”

Information

• Goldfish are native to Asia – believed to have originated in northern China and Korea
• Goldfish were first introduced into the British Isles in the 17th Century
• Parent goldfish can give birth to non-gold offspring. These are thought to be a throwback to the goldfish’s wild ancestor and are mistaken for Crucian carp
• The Crucian carp is among the best freshwater fish for enduring pollution, low oxygen levels and cold. In extreme conditions it has been known to hibernate in mud while the water above it has frozen
• Goldfish grow quicker than Crucian’s

Bad news if you’re a Burmese Python in Florida

The Burmese Python is back in the news again. As some of you might have seen on the television lately Burmese Pythons (BP’s) are causing all sorts of problems in the Florida Everglades by competing for food and eating the indigenous species which is now under threat.

So the State of Florida has now declared war on the BP. They are now issuing licenses to hunters to kill them.
How did the BP get to be free in Florida? No one really knows but it seems fairly obvious that they are from animals that escaped from pet shops and reptile owners when property was damaged or destroyed during the Hurricanes and owners releasing them when they get too big to look after.
As such the conditions in Florida favour them and they are now breeding and expanding across the Everglades. The snakes have now became a serious threat to the animals, some of them endangered, who call the Everglades home. The hunters do not get paid but can sell the meat and skin for money. The licences are only given out to people who have a ”reptiles of
concern” license and special equipment to document what they capture. The hunters have to gather information on the BP’s that they take, including the python’s size, gender; the GPS coordinates of where the catch was, if the snake had parasites and its stomach contents.
I wonder what your thoughts on the hunt are.
