    Burmese pythons, an invasive species in Florida's Everglades not native to the region, are having significant negative impacts. As large snakes sometimes reaching 23 feet and 200 pounds, they threaten local animal populations which they prey upon. Additionally, they were previously viewed as suitable pets but their size makes them difficult for most owners to properly handle, potentially endangering humans. The presence of Burmese pythons is fundamentally changing the Everglades ecosystem and causing problems for native wildlife and local communities.

    Burmese Pythons Essay

    390 Words
    How is the presence of burmese pythons changing the Everglades? "The

    Burmese python is a magnificent and powerful animal." (Source 1)

    Unfortunately, these pythons aren't quite as magnificent as we thought. The

    presence of the Burmese pythons is more than just changes in the Everglades.

    These pythons are causing changes in the ecosystem, local animal populations

    and people. To start off, the Burmese pythons aren't the animals we want to

    have as a pet or we want to be around. They are native grassy swampland of

    Southeast Asia. According to, Burmese Python: Not The Ideal Pet (Source 1),

    "...it is among the largest snakes in the world, capable of growing to an

    astounding length of 23 feet and weight of 200 pounds." Due to this, most

    people have chosen these snakes as pets, but they've encountered way more

    than what they could handle.
