As you drive eastward on the Tamiami trail, the Everglades are on your right. There is a canal the whole or at least most of the way. Across the canal is vegetation so thick it is literally impenetrable. It is not too high but it is a congested vegetative mass. The vegetation is unbelievably dense. Pythons and small animals can pass but humans cannot.
Allowing python hunting is pssing in the ocean. The Burmese python is now a resident same as progressive vermin in Palm Beach County
And a 10 foot gator can hide in surprisingly...emphasis on surprise!...shallow water.
