I don't know about alligators in Australia but they sure have "salt water crocs".

I doubt she intended to die, Bakerman.

We weren't there, so don't know the scene, but she probably thought she could get the dog away quickly.

I used to spend every January in Florida, and it was not unusual to wake up to a big water snake in the pool.

Oh, I'm sure you are right about her not intending to die. All I meant was that I'd never get that close to an alligator except for my wife or for any child.

Did you know that the Everglades now has giant, and I mean giant Boa Constrictors ? People buy them and then when they get too big they turn them loose in the swamps.

A few months ago, Fish and Game Dept caught one 18 foot long. (6 meters) That is what I call a real monster. Big enough to eat a large, fat man whole.

That is really big Bakerman. It is terrible that people buy these snakes then let them loose when they don't want them anymore...you would think they would be intelligent enough to take them to a pet store or somewhere to be disposed of.

I heard of one in Toronto, came up through the toilet. Can you imagine, sitting on the toilet and get bit on the *** by THAT...Yikes...
