I see no reason for debating that they are eating something.
They are a non-native species which can upset the natural balance of the everglades wildlife.
It would be a licensing fee for non-native species that anyone who wanted to keep them as pets should pay. Should apply to all invasive species such as piranhas, tigers, and reptiles/amphibians which are potentially dangerous to the ecosystem and/or humans. In effect it would be a user tax to take care of irresponsible use of these non-native animals.
Any large python could kill a child. There are plenty of photos of them with deer and alligators so we’d have to assume they could take a smaller animal like a child with ease.
And "experts" were "skeptical" about the details. You hear the same thing from owners and advocates of certain breeds of dogs.
People shouldn't be allowed to keep animals like this as pets except under HIGHLY regulated circumstances.
They get hung up on our shoulders.
Other animals do not have the collar bone configuration that we do.
Their ability to stretch is not limitless.
