Finally, the people of Florida have found a solution to this problem by creating The Python challenge. First of all, the challenge can be extremely dangerous. The text says, “...If you happen to be in the area, be sure to wear a bulletproof vest.” (Pg. 45). Also, seeing that the Python challenge can be dangerous the state of Florida has set up a program to show the people interested in participating in this challenge what to do in the everglades. On page 46 of the text, it states, “.. you will learn from experts how to identify, handle, and harvest these giant snakes.”. Lastly, another reason why Florida started the Python challenge is because they are affecting the ecosystem of the Florida everglades ecosystem and they wanted to raise awareness for this problem. In the year 2012 the USGS took a experiment that saw a disappearance in small rodents and that the everglades were not as inhabited as they were 30 years ago. The Python challenge helps raise awareness to everyone that this problem has gotten out of hand.

One way to stop the burmese python is the python challenge, the python challenge has to prizes according to page 45, the prize for the longest python is 1,000 dollars and whoever kills the most gets 1,500 dollars,but how do people handle the burmese python,in page 46 the text states “They learn from the experts how to identify, handle the python and harvest the these giant snakes”.But the question is, is the python challenge going to stop the burmese python?well in page 47 it explained that if people don’t get educated about releasing wild animals into the everglades even though they don’t belong there then this is never going to stop.Just watch out for a python when you visit the everglades.

Second of all, the Burmese python is an invasive species wich means intruder to the land in Florida everglades. The Burmese python is huge and almost as big and long as a lamp pole.

According to page 44 they were brought to the everglades by people that found out that they had to much snake that they can't handle or the big python escape next to the jungle were they held a lot of pythons. They are native to Southeast Asia. The Burmese python is at the top of the food chain in the Florida everglades which means that every animal there is in danger including other Burmese pythons. Just don't meet face to face with them!

# data[].attributes.body
First of all the Burmese python is a snake unlike others.These pythons can grow to be very large. “They snakes can grow up to be 26 feet “ (video) “they can weigh up to 200 pounds.”page 44 Pythons like moist climates. “It is native to Southeast Asia, which is very warm and moist just like the climate in florida everglades.” I found that information on page 44. People can keep these snakes as pets they can train there snakes not to attack so they can have them as pets. “The snakes can grow pretty fast, docile, neat.” page 44 It is easy to see that this snake is one-of-a-kind

# data[].attributes.body
Secondly the Burmese python is not originally from the Florida everglades, it is an invasive species. The Burmese python has no natural predators, which makes the python an apex predator (video 1). The snake has also lowered the animal population in the Florida everglades. Including, deers, bunnies, raccoons, alligators (Video 1). Another reason they are an invasive species is because owners buy them and don’t suspect anything until the snake becomes much larger than before it was when it was purchased. The pet owners then let them go into the wild, resulting in this big situation of the Burmese population rising as a invasive species (pg.45). Keep your eyes peeled for the dangerous Burmese python.

The Burmese python is the largest snake in the world. According to video 1 and page 44 it can grow up to 26 feet and way up to 200 pounds. Second of all it can lay  50 to 100 eggs. Burmese Pythons are native to south Asia it likes the warm and humid environment . People like Burmese python as pets because of the docile attitude and beautiful patterns.Burmese python food choices are small  mammals like bobcats and foxes. The python way to hunt is it has heat sensors on it lower jaw and it large carving teeth that swallows the pray whole. The python challenge is a way to kill and get  rid of the pythons. There is two types of prizes are for the one that kills the most  and for the longest . The one that has the longest gets $1000 and the most killed gets $1500. What do you want to do about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Burmese Pythons are an invasive species that are becoming a problem in the Florida everglades. The presence of this snake is majorly impacting the wildlife. The text states on page 44 “ these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” Video 1 also mentioned a severe decline of mammals. Because nothing is stopping them the situation continues. The book on page 45 and in video 1 talks about how Burmese Pythons are an Apex predator with no natural threats. Not only is there nothing there to stop them but this python problem is quickly increasing. Also stated in video 1 pythons can lay up to 100 eggs at once. So if you ever find yourself in the Florida everglades keep an eye out and watch your step.

Lastly, the python challenge is a way to solve the problem that the burmese pythons have been causing. According to page 45 the challenge is to hunt and kill these pythons with a prize to whoever kills the most pythons. It’s the first ever problem for controlling the overpopulation of the burmese python. On page 45 it states “tens of thousands of burmese pythons are estimated to be living in the everglades” and many people participate in this challenge. Lastly, the people that want to participate are trained for the challenge. Page 46 states that the competitors will be trained to identify, harvest, handle, and kill the burmese pythons and experts will train them. What do you about the burmese python?

# data[].attributes.body
Second of all time, The Burmese Python is not supposed to be in the florida Everglades! People let the pythons go because they get to big for them to keep in there house. The Burmese Python has no natural predators, ( On Page 45) “ With no natural predators these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” Burmese Pythons can lay up to 100 eggs per month! That is very dangerous because there are more and more snakes in the everglades. (According to the video.) Now I know that the Burmese Python is at the top of the food chain!

# data[].attributes.body
The Burmese python is a major problem in the Florida Everglades because it’s an invasive species. In the Florida everglades, the python problem is quickly increasing. Based on video one, it said that the Burmese python can lay 100 eggs a year. The Burmese python is a killing machine! According to Pg.45 it states, “These eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” The Burmese pythons cannot be stopped. In the movie and source 3 it says that the Burmese python has no natural predators and it’s an apex predator. In my opinion the Burmese python is super deadly.

# data[].attributes.body
Where are the animals of florida everglades???The burmese python are a top predator.The animals of the everglades are disappearing  because the pithon has no natural predator.Where are the river otters??They have disappeared because the burmese python travel throwout waters of the florida everglades so river otters are a prime target for food.Why are the waters of the everglades lifeless.The burmese python almost lives in the water so the animals of the water are a reliable source of food for the burmese python.So if you are looking for a lifeless place go to the florida everglades with very little animals to see!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Second of all, the burmese python is not supposed to be in the florida everglades.

One of the reasons the python is in the florida everglades is because people let them go. On page 44 it states  “People found out they had more snake than they could handle”. Also the snake has no natural predators. As it is stated in video 1, “The snake is at the top of the food chain”. In my opinion, this snake needs to be dealt with before it ruins the florida everglades.

# data[].attributes.body
Secondly the burmese python is an ecosystem destroying machine. It is crazy! The burmese python is wiping out the animal population. In video 1 it says, “There was a disappearance of racoons, bobcats and other small animals.” Also, The burmese is at the top of the food chain. According to page 44 this python is an apex predator that can hunt at night.The burmese python kills animals in a specific way. On page 44 it says, “They squeeze the animal until it dies and swallows the animal whole.” It is easy to see that the burmese python is an invasive species.

# data[].attributes.body
Last the python challenge is the solution to the overpopulation of the burmese python species. One reason for this is the python challenge is the solution to the overpopulation of the burmese python species. According to page 45” the challenge is to hunt and kill pythons, with a grand prize of 1,500,”. This means that more people will help, so the more the merrier.second It was the first challenge for controlling the overpopulation of the species. On page 45 it is proven that it’s the first ever python challenge open to the public from jan. 12 until feb. 10,”. Lastly the competitors were trained for the challenge this is proved because Page 46 states “learn from experts how to identify, handle, and harvest these giant snakes,”. This means that the competitors won't just be going out into the wilderness and shooting things. Now that you have seen what the python challenge is, what do you think about the out the effects of this challenge.

Second of all, these beast are a nuisance to the Florida Everglades. The people of Florida couldn’t handle them as pets. On pg. 45 the texts says,” The snakes were growing too big for the owners in result, the owners started being irresponsible and let the snakes go into the wild”pg 45. Secondly the snakes kills fast, so fast As it says on Pg 44, It is a concern how fast the snake kills its prey. It can unhinge its jaw and swallow up to 5 times the size of its head”. Finally the snakes have no natural predator. As it said in video 1 “there are no natural predators to kill the burmese python so they just keep laying eggs and having babies”. As you can see we have to do something to get rid of these nuisances.

The most important reason about how the pythons are changing the everglades is because of their amazing skills. Their population is growing rapidly. | In video 1, it stated that each, single, python can lay up to 100 eggs.
They are eating machines.
| They have no natural predators so they are killing off all the animals in the everglades.
The climate is very similar to their native climate. | The Florida everglades has a very similar climate to Southeast Asia and that is where they are from that is why they are going their.
Clincher: Just make sure that you are never dinner for this invasive snake!

One way people are trying to stop this problem is by having the Python challenge.

From participating in this challenge someone could win eight grand!

Winning this challenge could give someone the opportunity to win 8 grand(from video).Also this challenge can be a learning experience for many people too “This challenge teaches people how to hunt and kill pythons”(from video). This challenge can also help people understand the python predicament better. When people are participating in this contest they are learning about the pythons and how to kill them( from video). This challenge not only can be fun but is also helping the Python issue.

# data[].attributes.body
One way, people are trying to stop these snakes is the python challenge.  First,Some people try to hunt these snakes. “They hunt and kill theses snakes for a grand prize of $1,500.” (page 45 )

Secondly, some people learn how to catch these snakes. They learn how to handle, catch and harvest the snakes.(page 47 )  The biggest burmese python that gets caught and killed get the prize of
$1,500. ( page 46 ) Even though the pythons are a big problem at least some people are doing something about it because, the less snakes the more wild life we have and the more snakes the bigger the problem is.

# data[].attributes.body
They can grow up to 26 feet(video 1)Weigh up to 200 pounds: Page 44

It is native to Southeast Asia, which is very warm and moist--just like the climate in Florida everglades. I found this information on page 44
Grows fast, docile,neat markings. Page 44.

One way people are trying to stop this problem is the python challenge. First, people are trying to hunt these snakes a lot of people are trying to hunt these snakes because if they hunt and kill then the person that killed the most get a grand prize of $1,500. People get to learn to kill the snakes so they want to join the python challenge they would already know how to hunt and kill them and add them to there python challenge. Who ever got the most and the biggest python gets the  grand prize of $1,500. The whole reason the do the python challenge is to have fun, raise awareness, and to calm the problem down with the python problem even though the pythons are a big problem at least people are doing something about it

Second of all, the Burmese python is an invasive species wich means intruder to the land in Florida everglades. The Burmese python is huge and almost as big and long as a lamp pole.

According to page 44 they were brought to the everglades by people that found out that they had to much snake that they can't handle or the big python escape next to the jungle were they held a lot of pythons. They are native to Southeast Asia. The Burmese python is at the top of the food chain in the Florida everglades which means that every animal there is in danger including other Burmese pythons. Just don't meet face to face with them!

Lastly, people are trying to stop the Burmese python. There has been a challenge started  to stop the Burmese python called the Python Challenge. They have a 1500 cash prize  for whoever hunts and kills the most Burmese pythons. Also found on page 45, a 1000 cash prize for whoever kills the longest snake. Also there can’t just be random people randomly killing the python.  You have to be trained before you enter the challenge I saw  in video 1. There are definitely some dangers in hunting the python, it isn’t easy. It’s 30 days of hundreds of people running around, armed with shotguns and powerful pythons running around. I’m not a big fan of the python challenge how about you?

# data[].attributes.body
The Python Challenge, The Python Challenge Is A Thing That People Come From All Over The World To Hunt Snakes And Win Money And Prizes,The Python Challenge Is To Reduce The Population Of Burmese Pythons In The Florida Everglades,People From All Over The World Come To Hunt The Burmese Python In The Florida Everglades To Earn Money And Prizes,The Burmese Python Can Make Animals Go Extinct Unless We Stop Them!

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly, every year there is a python challenge to stop the spread of the Burmese python because of the reckless environment danger that it causes. Video one showed me that the men\women that are competing in this challenge are taught how it works, they teach the people how to handle the snake, how when they cause this danger it's not specifically there fault, and they have to understand the snake. Also the win is big dollars, if a team catches the most snakes they get 4,000 dollars if a team catches the longest snake they also get 4,000 dollars all together you could win a sum of 8,000 dollars. Crazy! Finally the dates of when the Python challenge goes on, it starts January first and goes until February third. The Python challenge really helps the lowege of the Burmese python and saves the Florida everglades.

# data[].attributes.body
One important fact about how the pythons are changing the everglades is because of their amazing hunting skills. Their population is growing rapidly. In video 1, it stated that each python can lay up to 100 eggs everyday.  Also, they are eating machines. In the Florida everglades, they have no natural predators, so they are killing off all of the other animals.  (page 44) Lastly, the climate in Florida is similar to their native climate. The snake’s home is Southeast Asia, which has an alike climate to the everglades. Just make sure you are never dinner for these invasive snakes.

# data[].attributes.body
A significant fact to know is that the Burmese python did not come from Florida.  First of all, on page 44, it states “the python is native to the grassy marshes of Southeast Asia. Secondly, the presence of the Burmese Python is completely man made, we know this because on page 44, it says “that people have gotten these snakes as pets but when they got larger and they couldn’t handle it no more so they let them free into the wild.  Also, these snakes are at the top of the food chain too, we know this because on video 1,  it states that the Burmese python is at the top and there is no other predator to eat it, therefore it eats every bit of wildlife it encounters with in the Florida everglades.

# data[].attributes.body
How does the burmese python affect the everglades. The burmese pythons affect the everglade by laying a lot of eggs. The burmese python can lay 50-100 eggs (video 1). Also the burmese python is eating all the animals and it has no natural pray. It states in the video that the burmese python is eating raccoons,foxes,bobcats and other animals. Did you know that the burmese pythons is a vishes hunter. The burmese python has heat sensors on its jaw and back carving teeth and squeezes its prey in tell it dies and then swallows it hole i found this information on (page 44). This is why we need to stop the burmese python in the everglades.
