Runaway pets — and possibly some zoo escapees — have fueled the spread of invasive snakes across the island. It’s an environmental catastrophe in the making.
Hasn’t made much difference in the Everglades the last few decades. Hope they can get it sorted though, big snakes fuck with ecosystems when they are left unchecked. The Burmese Pythons here will eat gators if they get the chance. They eat anything really but it was always crazy to me they would eat an alligator.
It’s not that anything would eat an alligator that’s the problem. Plenty of things will eat an alligator, as long as it’s dead. It’s taking down a live alligator and swallowing it whole that’s concerning.

With climate change, Burmese pythons are expanding their territory and eventually expected to work their way up the coast.
That ANYTHING would eat an alligator. Well, other than people. People are crazy!
