The Burmese Python

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.

One misty morning in 2003, deep under the cover of the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, a group of tourists set out for a day of exploration in the Everglades. They hoped to see some of the diverse and unique species that the Everglades are famous for, and maybe snap a few cool pictures to show their friends. They could never have anticipated what they would actually discover. A short way into their trek, the party was drawn to a noisy struggle nearby. They followed their ears to a duel between an alligator and a huge Burmese Python. The alligator clamped his jaws around the snake. The snake wrapped its body around the alligator. The tourists

"Called Out" by Barbara Kingsolver and "In Defense of Everglade Pythons" by Emma Marris show the challenges that both the Everglades and the desert face. In "Called Out" , one of the conditions that the environment faces is unpredictable rain. " ... We get slow, drizzly rains that can last for days and soak the whole region to its core.... those rowdy thunderstorms that briefly disrupt the hot afternoons, drenching one small plot of ground while the next hill over remains parched".

Firstly, the Burmese Python can digest a multitude of different animals, shown by the article, Florida’s Python Hunt when it says,“ With no natural predators, these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” These serpents are slowly making these animals become extinct, and society is not doing much better.

Since these pythons have such a variety in their palette they can be a huge threat to the wildlife within the Everglades, possibly wiping out a group of animals when there are a team of the dangerous pythons. Another piece of evidence to back up my reasoning is also stated in "Pythons Invade the Florida Everglades" , it states, "Studies have shown that since their appearance in the Everglades, the numbers of small mammals in the area are down significantly." This evidence shows that there is a definite and proven decrease of some species due to the Burmese pythons entering the Everglades. With the Burmese pythons still in the wetlands more and more animals, big and small, are slowly being eaten because of these dangerous

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.

Burmese Pythons are taking over the Everglades. Burmese Pythons are taking over the Everglades because the people that owned them, they thought the Burmese Pythons were too big, so they let them go into the Florida Everglades. Also the people of Florida are having a thing called a python hunt. That's going to hurt the environment because the people of Florida are letting untrained hunters to kill Burmese Pythons with shotguns ex, The people might even be a bigger threat to the Everglades. Some of the people have not seen pythons at all so they might shoot any kind of snake.

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

Burmese pythons are ruining the everglades. The pythons grow to big sizes making their owner not want them, so they throw them out into the everglades. This is ruining the everglades by killing the wild life that lived in the everglades before the snake got there. More reasons the snakes are ruining the everglades are, the local animal population is decreasing because these pythons are killing and eating them, the burmese pythons can affect people in a negative way because the peoples pets can be playing outside and the

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.

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.

Pythons are invading and wiping out ecosystems. Soon your home will be invaded by these invasive Burmese pythons. Do you really want that to happen? The presence of Burmese pythons are changing the Everglades. They are multiplying fast in the Everglades, they are eating away at Florida’s ecosystem, and they are being released by people into the Everglades.

One of the biggest names in Florida’s species invasion is the Burmese Pythons (Python molurus bivittatus), a native constrictor species of Southeast Asia, which was first sighted in the Florida everglades in 1980, has now developed into a recognisable reproducing population.

Have you ever seen a snake that can grow up to 23 feet long and weigh up to 200 pounds? If you have, then you have seen a Burmese python. These pythons can grow to be the width of a sycamore tree branch. They are native to Southeast Asia, but due to bad ownership, they are now roaming the Everglades, unbalancing the ecosystem. The Burmese Pythons are negatively affecting the Everglades by disrupting the food chain, causing an unsafe sport, and they are growing exponentially.

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

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.
