My bad...   sorry...                   

Not at all, I would like to see a few pics of that 275lb snake. That would be a little scary to have loose in the house, of course it would take care of the cat problem.

It might try to take care of your ass too!!  I don't want anything around the house where I'm not sure about who's at the top of the food chain    I'm not scared of snakes, but something 18' long coonin' around the house looking for something to eat, and pissed off at the same time, would make me reeeeeeeeeeal uncomfortable.

I'm with ya on that one, I'll just have to live with the cat problem.

ya...   that's a part of why she went to live at the Ranger school camp..  I just couldn't bring myself to cage her, and she was getting more and more aggressive.  latched on to my knee one day, (pretty much engulfed the whole joint with her mouth), and it took the wife and a buddy to keep her from rolling up on me while I worked her teeth out of my skin, and we were pretty much done thinkin' a giant snake was a cool pet....  It was cool while it lasted though...  I'd walk her outside and freak out the passing joggers, didn't have a "dog crappin' in my yard" problem at all,  and ALL the cute little teeny-bopper chicks wanted to hang out...   (even the wife thought that was funny)  It just takes WAYY too much to keep an exotic pet.  I think that's why they call them exotic...

Holy chit! That would have been it for me too!

I was just out in the kitchen thinking about this post and the worst smell I have ever experienced would have to be while I was at Cape Cod last Summer. Donna and I were walking along the beach in the late afternoon. Warm, breezy day, the wind was coming in off the water. We get down to where the beach turns toward a small cove and the breeze turns around and starts blowing right at us. There was a smell in that breeze that almost bought the two of us to our knees. Just up ahead there was a dead bottle nose dolphin. It was only a small one, 3 feet long or so but very dead. It was by far the worse thing I have ever smelled.

Cat puke, snake crap and dead dolphins, what a great thread...

Incendiary peas...came home one night after playing rugby with a snoot full and cooked buttered peas just sounded sooo good, put 'em on the stove, kicked back in the overstuffed lounger with yet another beer and the tv on low-awoke 3 hours later to a thick black dense burned sphincter smell permeating the house and all the smoke alarms working overtime. It took four days of constantly cleaning EVERYTHING in the house-walls, cabinets, sheets, carpets...couldn't eat peas for some time. Phew!

I had a similar experience while making habanero pepper sauce.  I had them simmering in white vinegar.  Imagine the acrid smoke from smoldering peppers in the air.  The smoke alone (containing capsacin) was enough to burn the nose.  I had asked my 11 year old daughter to turn the stove off to let the cooked peppers steep the rest of the night.  She mistakenly assumed I was trying to reduce the liquid portion and left the stove on without telling me to drive off some more vinegar.  It's scary to wake up at 3AM because your nose is burning from pepper smoke.

Scott, was the python litter trained or did you have to go hunting like a turd burgler when you noticed the offending odor?

I don't think there are many smells worse then burned food on the stove. In my career as a firefighter we have often responded to calls where there hasn't been anybody at home and smoke coming from the residence. Burned food gives off a very distinctive smell that usually can be noticed blocks away. I think the worse I've ever smelled would probably been what started off as hard boiled eggs.

Them snakes get big when they get loose down here...I saw one burmese around 20+ foot in a lake not far from the house...I think you'd need a 12 gauge to kill it.

That was a 6 foot gator that got ette before the snake popped.

Did it stink?

Wow, much more acrid than anything I have been able to muster in my many years of blundering...I can only imagine what was going through your mind as your nasal hairs began beating a hasty retreat!

Now that is hilarious! I am rolling on the friggin' floor at this point! (good thing, as the air is much cleaner there, less odor...)

[miker]

I imagine it musta.
Out in the glades on an airboat you can catch a whiff of some very smelly things, they are a little hard to spot sometimes in the tall sawgrass.
With the heat stuff gets stinky fast!

just watch out for pungent python poop.......
