some dipshit thought it would be cool to keep it as a pet and then let it loose.

Thats big enough to take a small person.

"Dipshit" is far too kind for this brain dead slobbering lowlife fungus.

That snake had been footloose and fancy free to attain that kind of size.

The first large, “wild” python I ever saw in Dade Co. was 35 years ago. These snakes are the descendants of dipshit owners long ago.

Potential snake owners do not research the species or take into account the cost of feeding the adult version of that cute little snake they see at the pet store/herp show.

A Python that size could do well eating a large hen once or twice a month and the cost/effort becomes prohibitive so instead of giving it to a snake rescue facility, they turn it loose.

Typically, the mindset is “bigger is better” for those who need to “impress” people.

A half hour of casual research and a modicum of intellect would lead the buyer down a much wiser path.

There are many types of Boas and Pythons which stay within reasonable size/feeding limits.

The other issue is longevity.

Well tended Boids and Pythons can live to be 50 years old.

At least some of these animals have no doubt outlived their owners and their families dumped them.
