Giant Burmese pythons aren’t just a wild Everglades story anymore—they’re showing up in Florida neighborhoods, reshaping local wildlife, and spreading faster than anyone expected. These massive snakes, once rare pets, now dominate wetlands and are wiping out native animals, with some mammal populations dropping by 90%. Experts say the Gulf Coast is the next front, and more outbreaks are likely as pythons follow canals and waterways into new areas. Florida’s response mixes high-stakes hunts, citizen action, and tech, but the challenge is growing. How would you feel finding a 15-foot snake near your home? What should communities do next? #Pets #FloridaWildlife #InvasiveSpecies
