4 1 BURMESE PYTHON You have a pet Burmese python and you decide you do not want to keep the snake anymore. It's getting big. What do you do? You tried and you could not find a home for the snake. You do not want the snake to be put to sleep by a veterinarian because you love your pet. You decide to set it free. You know the snake's natural habitat is near water so you release the snake at a local river. The snake makes its way down river and eventually it arrives at the Florida Everglades. That's the story how an invasive species was introduced to the Florida Everglades. If you continue the story, the Burmese python realizes it can adapt to living in the Everglades. There it meets another Burmese python that someone else has released and these snakes have babies. Suddenly there is a thriving and growing population of pythons in Florida. Pythons eat other animals, competing with alligators for top of the food chain. Not many animals can match this new foe. Burmese pythons are a menace to the local wildlife population. The Burmese Python is native to Southeast Asia. It is one of the biggest snakes in the world. Females lay as many as 35 eggs at a time. The female will stay with the eggs until the baby snakes chew their way out of their eggs. From there the baby snakes are left to fend for themselves. Burmese pythons are excellent swimmers and can remain underwater for several minutes at a time. 1
