Scout pythons are key to tracking down females in the wild. These males typically make their way to reproductive females during breeding season and sometimes even groups of females and males.

Apparently they aren’t just in the swampy areas but can be found anywhere - I can’t imagine coming across one of these!

These aren’t native to Florida but were introduced by people who purchased them until they got to big and let them go in the Swamps.

I lived in FL for 13 years, but never saw a python.
A ton of gators though. Jax, Cocoa Beach, and Gainesville.

Unfortunately the concern is these snakes are eating the native animals etc. White tailed deer are now at just 200.

Article states they’ve been wreaking havoc in the Florida since the 1970s.

That doesn’t mean a python hasn’t seen you.

Since 2000, Florida Fish & Wildlife has killed or removed over 15,000 pythons,
with over 1,000 removed every year beginning in 2017.
Pictured is another Burmese python that measured 17ft long

Yes it’s sad—they can’t kill them fast enough—too bad one of these things didn’t eat the first idiot that brought one here.

I was there 2000-2013.
Gators, snapping turtles, black skinny snakes, water moccasins (Cottonmouth), fire ants, eagles, ospreys, and manatees. Saw plenty of the above…

It has been a long time coming. The first Python I saw in a South Florida swamp was in 1977.

Might explain how this one got to 215 lbs. Good eats.
Food chain wars. Gators or pythons — rate your favorite backyard wildlife!
