Burmese Pythons Problems

The Burmese python has become a predatory species in the Florida Everglades. The Burmese Python has slowly been taking over the Florida Everglades eating small animals and causing massive destruction. The reason for this problem is the growth rate of the species occurring all over the Everglades. The ecosystem is perfect for the ever growing population of Burmese pythons in the Everglades. Pythons have migrated to the Florida Everglades by irresponsible pet owners and escaping from their homes.

According to the article “Burmese pythons : not the ideal pet”,Matt Piven states “The python’s unique hinged jaws allow it to swallow an object five times as wide as it’s own head.” This statement means it would be very difficult to kill a snake like this,so if the hunter was not survive. My reasoning is to spread the word that the people we set out to kill these monsters needs to be trained not people that have no experience they're basically putting themselves in a cage saying “come at me.” In addition a newspaper article that goes by the name of “Florida's python hunt” by Andrew Ng he mentions “with no natural predators,these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums,raccoons,and many bird species.” Ultimately, this matters because we can clearly tell by this article that the Burmese pythons are carnivores(they eat meat). They could easily sneak in someone's house and kill them. Pythons are not safe pets to have. In fact we shouldn't have them as pets at all considering how dangerous they

Burmese pythons The presence of the Burmese pythons are making people and animals suffer! They have taken over many things. For example, they have taken over the Everglades of Florida and have taken over the food chain. The pythons have taken down animals and brought the people of Florida with them.

The presenters of the burmese pythons is negative it is impacting Florida's everglades. According to the news article that the senate of the committee brought a 16 foot long snake skin to a meeting. Its response to these is Florida's fishing and wildlife and sent out a prize to whoever finds the fattiest and the longest. The longest python found was 23 feet long and the fatties one was 200 pounds.

Scientist fear that huge 250 pound Burmese Pythons could spread from South Florida to much of the Southern United States. According to a survey report, pythons find ⅓ of the United States to be comfortable for them to spread. Snakes such as Burmese Pythons have shown to be highly adaptable. These snakes can slither at a constant rate of 20 miles, and they never stop moving. The Burmese Python have killed children who were mistaken for food and are unable to stop their instinctive reaction to coil and squeeze. However, Burmese Pythons will have to get past Florida’s alligators first. The absence of predators such as alligators can make these snakes’ journey much easier.

To conclude, the FWC (Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission) also wants to mind people that any exotic pet should never be released into the Florida waters, or land. People need to realize that when you own an exotic animal and don't want the responsibility of caring for it anymore, you need to take it to an animal shelter or a good owner that has the ability and supplies to fill their needs. Letting them go, into the wild could be detrimental to other animals or plants in the

Imagine taking a walk in the Florida Everglades. Now imagine that during that walk you come across a giant snake. In that snakes grip is a full-sized White-tailed deer. The two are battling it out, but the snake is clearly winning, it does not stand a chance against a full sized python. What could possibly be even worse than that would be a Burmese python battling an alligator and winning? It has happened even though the snake did not make it away from the fight. It looks like something out of a horror film and it is happening more than people might think. This giant snake

There are many different types of snakes in the state of Florida from the average garden snake to the very venomous Eastern Diamondback Rattle but so far the only one that has both citizens and politicians truly worried about are the Burmese Pythons that are located in the Everglades, a National Park located in southern Florida. Burmese Pythons have a beautiful patterned skin, a rapid growth rate, which is known as the largest snake of choice to be owned by human. During, captivate Burmese python are poorly taking care of; some turn on their owners and end up killing them. Due to, them being poorly taking care pythons are release into the wild or in a nearby wooded area to defended for themselves and find food.

Burmese Pythons are invasive reptiles that are eating various wildlife of the Everglades, whether its prominent or endangered species. In order to successfully control this growing population, scientists will need to do extensive research, plan a course of action, and execute it with the use of proper funds. This includes an abundance of plans that control or kill the population before the issue gets out of hand.

Burmese pythons are easy to control as pets while they are small, but they grow large very quickly. Owners in Florida who most likely didn’t do their research on the pet planned to released their pythons into the forests and deserts of Florida, where the pythons are causing destruction to the Florida Everglades. Burmese pythons are among the largest snakes in the world. They can grow to a length of 23 feet. Pythons have poor eyesight but they have chemical receptors on their tongues that allow them to track prey in darkness. To kill their prey, they first grasp it with back-curving teeth, then suffocate it by pulling their coils tight around their prey. The python then swallows its prey whole.

The Burmese Python is an invasive species that resides in Florida. Being 200 pounds and twelve to twenty-three feet long, the Burmese Python is recorded as being one of the six largest snakes in the world. The Burmese Python is originally from Southeast Asia and was supposedly

They decided that they needed to do something to get rid of the pythons before they destroyed the ecosystem in the everglades Everglades. The people got a new mindset and now instead of loving the snakes and keeping them as pets they are out to kill them. In order to get rid of many of the pythos florida has decided to hold their first ever python challenge. This challenge is opened for the public so anyone can join and basically the goal is to hunt and kill these Burmese pythons. The hunter that kills the most pythons gets a grand prize of $1,500 and the hunter that baggs the longest one gets a prize of $1,000. Ths may seem like a bad idea but it is needed to prevent the ecosystem from having

In the Snake That’s Eating Florida by Scholastic Scope, There are many ways to reduce the number of Burmese Pythons in the Everglades. The first reason is that, the national park service has hired scientists to track and trap snakes and the scientists kills hundreds of snakes per year. For example, when they hire scientists to trap and kill snakes, the population of the Burmese Pythons in the Everglades decreases slightly. The next reason is that, a recent ban on the import of the snakes will help prevent new pet pythons from being abandoned in the wild. To emphasize, the recent ban on the import of snakes in the Everglades will not let anyone drop their snakes into the Everglades. The last reason is that, in 2013 the Florida Fish and Wildlife

For 30 days, people will be outside armed with any weapon that can kill the Burmese Python. Most of these people have most likely never seen a Burmese Python in their life, but they’re just in it for the money and helping out the other animals that live in the Everglades and other forests. The Python Challenge could possibly get some people hurt, but they are doing it to help the native animals stay where they live. The people of Florida want to help their native animals and kill off the non-native Pythons before it is too late. Even though some people think that this challenge is stupid and will only cause more trouble, it can drive the Burmese pythons out of the Everglades and other forests that they try to call their new

Being one of top five largest snake species in the world, a snake at this caliber already has the potential for and tremendous impact on any ecosystem. Being found in a large variation of tropic and subtropical locations It is naturally surrounded by many other species.
