You have to wonder what kind of gibbering idiot ... thinks it would be a smart idea to turn them loose after their little pea brains get tired of their "pets." In most cases they escape rather than being turned loose. Snakes, especially pythons, are very strong and hard to contain. Someone I used to know of had snakes and when they got too big I heard that he sold them because they were quite valuable. No doubt, some of them have been released by ignorant folks, but considering the way they reproduce, it wouldn't take very many to start a feral population.

I guess they will have to introduce anacondas to florida to keep the pythons in check.I suggest introducing Cajuns!
Hmmm...I wonder if python etouffee would be any good...
Or maybe deep-fried python...
Python jambalaya....

Here is another pic of the same boy and his snake 4 years earlier than the previous photo. That snake grew considerably in those years.

>>We have a bunch of stupid people in this world. Pythons are not meant to be pets.
Well, that’s not where the stoopid kicks in. When Horace (I assume these fools name ‘em) the snake is a little guy, it’s cool to see him chomp down on a lizard or grasshopper; but when he gets beyond the mouse and rat stage, that’s another thing.
The owners (whoops, sorry: companions) run down the Tamiami trail, and to the tune of “Born Free” wave goodbye to a 10’ Horace. That’s when it’s stoopid. We’ve got lotsa good Chinese restaurants in Miami - why not give Horace a big sendoff party - with him as the guest (dish) of honor?

How about a .12 ga. shotgun? Would that be enough of an “enemy”?

That kids parents are idiots. That snake could turn around and eat that child on any given day. They have four sets of dagger-like backward-tilting needle-sharp teeth, each about 2” long. Once that snake puts the chomp on that kid, he’s going down.
