  • A live necropsy and egg count on a 17-foot female python, performed on April 13th, 2017 in Naples, Fla. Biologist Ian Bartozsek performed the necropsy on an adult female python recently captured in the Everglades. Inside the snake they found 95 developing Burmese python eggs. Wildlife biologists, with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, have removed over a dozen of the invasive Burmese pythons in Southwest Florida, including 3,000 python eggs.

    most of the pythons in the glades started when a private rep­tile-breeding facility near the Everglades was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. This is the cause of the original influx of large quantities of pythons appearing in the wild. Granted many have been released by private owners, but this is not the reason there are so many. The reason is the ones that got free from the facility were many and had already started to mate and babies were hatched by the time someone took notice.
    As such breeding businesses have to be licensed by the state, the question must be asked: Why would a state already well-endowed with native snake species per­mit such a risky enterprise in the first place? And how was it regulated if the apparent storm-related "spill" was possible? The state instituted some new ownership criteria last year, including annual $100 fees for possession and microchips to keep track of the snakes, but it is a case of too little, too late.

      You can also blame places like underground reptiles in Deerfield Beach. He was known for releasing large pythons, Boa’s and even Iguana’s That were too big for some of his customers to keep anymore, they would bring them back to him, and he would have too many of his store, so he would take them out back and release them by the canal. That canal connect to the Hillsboro canal, which directly connects to the Everglades. Without a doubt Ryan at underground reptiles is a huge contributor to the issue we have destroying our ecosystem.

With that said, I lived in Boca Raton minutes away from Deerfield beach, and prior to hurricane Andrew, I know for a fact the owner of underground reptiles in Deerfield beach on Hillsboro and powerline was releasing Large Pythons, Boas, and iguanas in the back of the building by the canal. Within a few short years you could see anywhere between 30 to 50 iguanas basking on the grass right outside of the canal. They spread so quickly by the mid 90’s I saw 100’s of the Iguanas near the Intracoastal in Ft Lauderdale by one of the intercostal bridges near that fire station that’s on the northside. I can’t remember if it is on Oakland Park or commercial Boulevard. I was shocked how many there were, then I remembered all the ones Underground reptiles released, and how quickly they can mate and reproduce.

      As usual, we tend to punish the deserving FEW for the
      RAMPANT irresponsibility of MANY.
      Did I say that backwards? I wish.
      The fact is, we allow the ownership of animals to people far underqualified or unwilling (unable?) to learn/do what having that animal responsibly truly means. For every owned animal (and this includes the more basic pets, like dogs and cats, but especially exotics) that is cared for and provided for with utmost respect to their needs, there are many more that suffer through substandard care because their owners are unable or unwilling to do even the basics to ensure a truly healthy life. How my heart breaks to see that dog tied outside 14 hrs or more alone outside. How I literally cry seeing all the reptiles with metastatic bone disease from owner ignorance or unwillingness to spend the money for necessary (and yes, rather expensive!) UV lighting/ timely replacements. But above all, the view of animals' veterinary care as optional. **(It's expensive and sometimes extremely inconvenient! But if you haven't ensured access to a competent vet truly experienced with your species of pet--a vet that treats dogs/cats will likely not be specialized enough to treat a tortoise--you need to make sure u can so it's ready when needed!)**
      We treat them as a source of profit, entertainment, even well-meant companionship. However it is always at our whim. I can keep it in a box and barely keep it alive (or not), or I can learn what it really needs BEFORE I get it, plan accordingly, follow through with that proper care the whole duration of its ownership, and should circumstances change (cuz let's face it--it's naive NOT to expect the unexpected!), have an "escape route" that sees to it a life of proper care with someone else.
      Most people get their pets on a whim, (I myself have been guilty of it!), which is not ideal! However, they then don't reliably research what it truly needs (or won't do it bc of convenience, cost, or hubris). Or, when they lose interest (either in the animal itself or in the efforts to provide the care it needs), they too often settle for the easiest way out.
      The real tragedy is faceted, as not only does the little being suffer, but so much is lost in educating and engendering true appreciation for the life around us. Laws get passed/actions taken BANNING these animals (like Florida has been having to do) or destroying them (like this), which just furthers this irresponsibility as it limits GOOD, RESPONSIBLE ppl from owning and sharing them (and thus meaningfully educating us) and furthers our unconscious belief that we are entitled to own whatever we fancy and we have no accountability toward the consequences of our choices; we can just "erase" the problem like this, right?

They didn't need to die, But people would rather dump an unwanted reptile than either rehome it with someone that can properly care for it, or take it to a rescue that can rehome it. But once in the wild these beautiful animals can cause major harm to the native ecosystem not to mention they can live upwards of 20 years.

      One of the biggest issues that Florida has is you have several breeders there that are taking the reticulated python and breeding it with different pythons to get different color variations and there is a guy who runs a UA-cam channel and I will go back and look up the site and come back and bring it on here they are playing with extremely large size snakes I had a Burmese python those grow to a very long large footage. When I knew that I could no longer handle it I didn't just release it out into the woods here in Louisiana, my cousin had a male and a female Burmese python and he had an actual bedroom in his how's that had false trees in it had misters and it was an amazing room it was like walking into an aquarium for lack of better word and he would put their lives food in there and they were able to hunt and feed just like if they were not in captivity and so I gave mine to him knowing that it would be very well taken care of but a friend of mine had one also and mind you these where before owning snakes was the cool thing to do 80s and 90s you were just weird if you don't snakes you weren't cool at all you were that's the scary dark kids stay away from it but my friends snake stopped eating and she thought it was sick and she was letting it sleep in bed with her she was a petite young lady and she finally decided you just was just going onto too long and she took her snake to the vet and he was you checking the sneak out and he asked her you know he said how long has it been since he's eating and she told him it had been over two weeks and she just could not get him to eat he wouldn't live seed he wouldn't fresh kill feed he would not freeze thawed feed nothing and he told her that it appeared to him that what he was actually doing since she was letting him to have full range of the house that he was sizing other bigger things that lived in the house and the only other thing that lived in the house where her two small children and herself there were not any dogs and weren't any cats so she got rid of her snake quickly I might add now I can neither confirm nor deny the factual nature of the veterinarian's opinion however I have following snakes my entire life and have heard and seen grotesque pictures as people that this had happened to you they become the meal but my biggest concern is when you start cross breeding trying to make a beautiful color and a different style and basically start screwing with Mother Nature it's going to screw you back. At some point it will screw you back and when it does I don't think anybody's going to be prepared for it I'm waiting for some moron to get the bright idea to try to artificially inseminate one of these beautiful, because I I love pythons I do and I hate to see that they have to reduce populations but y'all have a real problem in Florida and they need to reduce the population before the population starts reducing your wildlife and your household pets, but I'm waiting on a moron and it's only a matter of time to get the bright idea 2 inseminate one of these beautiful Creatures with oh let's say you're cottonmouth or Copperhead hell maybe he even a rattlesnake God forbid they do it with a coral snake because there had become so few bites from that particular snake that they actually quit making the Anti-Venom for it because it was so expensive to make the end of venom and a coral snake head is not that huge so if it bites you're looking at like pinky size or baby toe size or in between toes that kind of area to be bit you're not looking at like the calf of your leg unless you got really floppy skin, but I pray that the people that have the knowledge of how to do artificial insemination do not get the bright idea that just because they can do it that they actually do it because should they do that 2 a python of the sizes that you're currently finding in Florida the population would be at such a devastating lost and there would there were there would be no Wildlife there would be no protection from these things cuz they're still going to have their innate nature to feed it is one thing to be squeezed but to be bit buy something at that size and and squeezed with Venom that is a really scary serious combination

And I seriously this feat group that I have watched their videos I don't put it past them they have been creating some very unusual sakes I don't think they're gonna stop.....then You have the person's That are breeding that have no license in their breeding in a very poorly contained area so they're losing snakes to begin with because they don't have a safe habitat An answer not good for Florida either The morons under control you're problem is still going to remain huge you could go out and catch everyone of a might now letter arj but you're gonna have so many that are added in and these genetically altered ones if they're coming up with all these different colors in things you don't know what San ferment or is there gonna be you like most pythons they don't just go and attack a human best for they just don't wanna be bothered by us yes can I get and I get you're there in the water but they're not gonna just automatically come running at you And who knows with all this stuff that they're doing to these famous in the creating an aggressive python and and here you have this huge muscle that once to Attack anything that moves .. They shouldn't mess with genetics always gonna cause a problem

How can I let my kid out without hving heart failure? ..... because I know you won't find me out there. There were 3 pythons found in Maine. One in a motorcycle, one in someones' laundry room and one seen slithering in a forest. My sister said she's not going to Maine, anymore. Knowing her, it's the truth. But, how do you feel about enjoying and being comfortable in the outdoors? Thank you.

    • @tacticalveterinarian
      @tacticalveterinarian 6 років тому +6

      Good question. First off, pythons aren't looking to hurt humans. If you're that worried about encountering a python, then just stay inside your house forever haha You are much more likely to be injured or killed by a random violent act, a car accident or even a dog attack (In 2017, more than 30 people were killed by dogs in the USA- most of the time it was the family dog!).

      Socal Chris. Can't you determine the difference of an apex predator, (invasive, no less. It doesn't belong here), and a 'dog' ? There are no nice similarities between the python and anything. Your view is respected, the python isn't. Do you realize the consequences of a county that has more pythons than residents? These things aren't friendly or tameable. C'mon, just be real with it.

    Thankfully something is being done about this unfortunate situation before the wildlife is gone and they start finding them in residential areas.

      dogs and cats are also invasive species and no ones calling to ban them.cats and dogs also do a lot worse damage to the ecosystem then these pythons and they can effect any ecosystem in the world while the pythons can only effect places that have a tropical climate like florida.
      if you are going to be against one animal because it's invasive species then apply that treatment to all.but you won't cause you love dogs and cats cause they are common pets.while despise pythons and reptiles as pets cause it doesn't effect you.

    I am an avid snake lover, including burms. I own a pet shop, I am working on officially licensing as a non-profit rescue. I have a standing policy with every animal I sell, that if the customer is going to release an animal into the wild, then they could instead bring it to me, and I will give them anywhere from a few dollars up to wholesale price even, just to be sure it isn't released.
    But, that is my store policy. That being said, the damage done to the ecosystem in Florida, regardless of whether or not it is humans fault, killing them is the only way to slow the population growth. I do however believe in using the animal to the fullest. As an avid hunter, I use as much of the animal as possible. There is no reason not to use snake leather... I know some areas they found them to have a really high mercury content, so eating may not be a great idea, but could the meat be used for something else? Mixed with other meat for livestock feed or something. It's natures way. Placing blame won't get us anywhere, but keeping or seat as top predator would help.

    • @aedigus11
      @aedigus11 6 років тому +1
