Is burmese pythons in te everglades?

They encroach on native species, but attempts to eradicate them will be largely futile due to the fact that a stable population has already sprung up. Even if the population was completely wiped out pet owners will still let them go (some people never learn). However, keep in mind that it is the irresponsible reptile owners that don't educate themselves on what they're getting into when they buy a Burmese python that do the harm. The responsible ones don't deserve to be punished. The pythons don't seem to be doing that much harm (certainly not as much as the media portrays), but they are doing some.
