I just wanna meet the dipshits that didnt realize ahead of time that keeping a python as a pet isn’t plausible long term
there's a pretty sound theory that ground zero for the explosion of pythons in the everglades was a pet shop down there somewhere that got completely annihilated during Hurricane Andrew. apparently it was chock full of the damn things, which makes sense that that is what would start a population spread because so many of them were released in close proximity to one another. otherwise it would just be onesies and twosies across the area which seems unlikely would lead to such a huge population increase because the snakes wouldnt be able to find eachother to breed.

I have heard this theory as well.

Never heard that before. Good stuff
The root problem is still the same. For some reason a market exists to keep 20 foot long snakes that can swallow a feral pig whole as pets

Yeh I think it was in Homestead, fl. I am guessing they didn't have black mambas or other venomous snakes.

I think it could be that, but shithead people are a big issue, too. It isn't just the pythons that are an issue in Florida. It also isn't just the damn iguanas. Florida has a serious problem with a host of destructive invasive species.
