Apopka sure is getting famous....at night, I'm usually watching Monster quest on the Quest network, and doing something else, but half listening. The other night, the program was all about the invasive dangerous pythons, and they started talking about one of the biggest ones ever, and then they pinpointed Apopka, FL. on the map, and zoomed in, and I was like, OMG, No!!! It was one kept as a pet, in a chain link kennel in a backyard on Lake Apopka. 20 feet long, over 300 lbs. and would woof down seven live rabbits per meal, oh, and had escaped at least twice! My worst kind of a nightmare. Tonight, I was half listening again to the program, and they told of a man with snorkeling goggles on, exploring underwater in very clear water, and a 6 foot gator popped him in his back, took him down, until he saw a bunch of bubbles, and the gator's white belly, and he bit him in the back of the head, and had to go to the hospital, and get his head stapled up....Kelly Park swimming area!!! I didn't hear of that before. The guy's name was Michael Diaz, and it was in June 2006. I looked it up. Very freaky watching Monster quest, when I would expect monsters around the globe, and they keep bringing up Apopka, FL. !!!!!
