What do you think of the Burmese Pythons that are expanding in South Florida?

Asked by SeventhSense (18914points) March 18th, 2009

On Tonight’s episode of the Daily Show there was a joke about pythons in South Florida but they are in fact an invasive species that have established themselves in the state. As a snake lover, I have always had a fondness for this snake being that I had one as a pet. His name was Monty :). They have a much nicer disposition than the Reticulated pythons (which can get larger and are the disputed longest snakes in the world.) The Burmese is a very adaptable snake and can grow to sizes over 20 feet.
