The Burmese Python

The Burmese Python is native from South Asia and has been accidentally introduced in the Everglades National Park of Florida.

This gigantic snake has been a true danger in the Glades for the past 20 years. They have killed over 98% of the biodiversity of the Glades. The Fire Service, which is taking care of the regulation of the Burmese Python’s population, has some interesting stories to share about these animals: they have seen an entire deer in the stomach of one snake and a struggle between an alligator and a Python. The Burmese Python can eat absolutely everything and their number has been the doom of the Glade’s biodiversity. No rabbits or foxes have been seen in the Glades for the past two years.

These snakes are incredibly difficult to kill. First of all, they have to been found and this is already difficult on itself. They can hide in the smallest and darkest places, making them practically undetectable. Killing them is difficult as well: they can survive being drive over or shoot. Destroying their head is the fastest, less painful and sure way to kill these pythons.
