Essay On Burmese Pythons

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

In the 1980s the Burmese python was transported the United States as an exotic pet from Southeast Asia, but soon after owners began releasing the natural predator into Florida’s Everglades.

The Burmese Python is one of many invasive species. These snakes are native the Southeast Asia. They were imported to the U.S. for pet trade. However, people who own these snakes sometimes don't realize they can grow up to 22ft and weigh up to 200 pounds. The size of these snakes prohibits them from being appropriate pets. As a result these animals are released into the wild. Not only does this affect the ecosystem, but it also affects the mammal and bird populations. In the

Clearly the burmese pythons are drawing hunters to the everglades.according to andrew nick 2013 article they are sponsoring a challeng. This means that millions will get hurt or injured,and adding this giant challenge. This means that there will be a lot of hunters in the everglades

Burmese pythons are an invading species that are causing problems to the local animal population, the local ecosystems, and the people in the area of Florida’s Everglades. These snakes are one of the biggest snakes in the world and grow up to be twenty three feet long and weigh up to two hundred pounds. They are able to hunt in the dark due to the chemical receptors on their tongues and heat sensors all over their jaw. This is bad for humans, as we cannot see very well in the dark. This can cause the snake to see us, but us not be able to see them. Without natural predators, these animals are lean, mean killing machines that can destroy many populations of animals and stand as a threat to humans.

With no regular meals for pythons these “eating machines” are devouring “huge numbers” of animals. (Andrew Ng, Page 45, Paragraph 1) And when you have pythons killing and eating animals, it becomes a threat to our Florida Everglades. It has even come to the making of a “python challenge”. (Source 3: Advertisement, Page 46) Where they are willing to hire anyone to kill a python. All you have to do is pay “pay a $25 registration fee” and you’ll get a lessons from “experts” who know about hunting. Even though this could be an even bigger threat to the Everglades, rather than the Burmese pythons

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.

The Burmese Pythons are a Native Species of Southeast Asia, but recently these pythons have appeared in the Florida Everglades and have been reproducing exponentially ever since their arrival. Some measures have been taken to reduce the population of the Pythons such as, introducing the Python Challenge, an annual Python hunting competition. The Burmese Python has had devastating impacts on the Native Species of the Florida Everglades. Some organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are outraged about the hunting of the Burmese Python in the Everglades. Even though PETA and other animal rights groups believe that Burmese Pythons should not be killed, measures need to be taken to solve the Python problem because
