Python by Christopher Jelderks https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje Post your paragraph here--just use your first name on the top of the list. en-us 2018-01-23 17:57:56 UTC 2018-01-29 17:52:00 UTC hello@padlet.com cjelderks https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223916666 2018-01-23 17:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223916666 Dr. J. cjelderks https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223917306 One important thing to know is that the Burmese python is an amazing animal. It is a huge beast! It is one of the largest snakes in the world. According to page 44, they can weigh up to 200 pounds, "grow up to 23 feet long," and be "as round as a telephone pole." Also, they are native to Southeast Asia. The video showed me that they like grassy, marshy lands, and warm and humid climates. I can infer that this is a big reason why it's flourishing in the Florida everglades, because the climate is similar to Southeast Asia. Lastly, people like to have these snakes as pets. Page 44 explained that the snakes' beautifully patterned skin, docile temperment, and rapid growth make them a popular pet. Just do not let them grab you around the neck! ]]> 2018-01-23 18:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223917306 Tucker Neville https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223917733 Another significant thing about the Burmese Python is that it is an invasive species. They are docile, so people like them. In the first article it says that the Burmese Python has beautifully patterned skin so people like to have the as pets. But it has a rapid growth rate. So when the pet owners realize that their snake is too big they release it back into the Florida everglades not realizing that it is native to Southeast Asia. Finally, they have no natural predators. From the reading, I know that the Burmese Python is threatening the ecosystem of the everglades because it is killing many animals. Even though the Burmese Python is beautiful it is still dangerous.

Think of hunting but only your hunting one of the biggest snakes in the world The python challenge on january 5th 2013 According to page 45 it states that the first ever python challenge and it will last for 30 days By hunting and catching the pythons you can get a cash reward t also states that there will be 1,500 to the hunter that kills the most and another 1,000 to the hunter that catches the longest one When people sign up for the challenge the will be taught how to properly hunt and kill the pythons One important thing is that there is people to teach the hunters to properly hunt and dispose of the giant creatures instead of just killing them The burmese python challenge is a harmless challenge to better help the ecosystem of the Florida everglades

One of the biggest snakes in the world. | According to page 44 the snake is able to grow up to 23 feet and weigh up to 200 pounds. It can also grow to be as round as a telephone pole
Native to Southeast Asia, docile, people enjoy usually them as pets.
On page 45 it explain that they “thrived in the warm, humid, climate,” everglades, which is a similar climate.
You wouldn’t want a telephone pole sized snake in your backyard. ]]> 2018-01-23 18:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/223918794 Eve Reel https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224033282 Important things to know about Burmese Pythons? Yes, Burmese Pythons are gorgeous creature’s with a beautifully patterned skin that people find amazing, they are commonly known as pets. These “pets” usually get to big for the owners to handle leaving the owners to deposit them somewhere the snakes can get comfortable and adapt like close to their natural habitat, perhaps you should say. But when you deposit a snake where its not originated from that species can get invasive. This species has started to invade the everglades. Eating all the wildlife and overpopulating, this has became a BIG problem that we need to take action in. We have decided to start a competition. This competition will help get rid of the species but people will need training. People will need to be educated as it explained in the video. When people have learned how to catch and harvest their skin they are ready. So far 400 people have signed up and 17 snakes have already been killed, this competition has been alive since 2013, and we are still trying to get rid of the snakes. As of the video no one has seen foxes or rabbits in the everglades in 2 years. This competition is a money prize competition as it states on page 46 “Sign up for the competition to harvest the most Burmese pythons or the longest one and win up to $1,500. Once you sign up and pay a $25 registration fee, you will learn from experts how to identify, handle, and harvest these giant snakes.” ]]> 2018-01-23 22:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224033282 Imagine a big carnivor, snake as long as a telephone pole. The Burmese python is one of the biggest snakes in the world. According to page 44, this snake is capable of growing up to the length of 23 ft. and can way up to 200 lbs. They are skilled hunters.Within the text I found that snakes can hunt in the dark because they have chemical receptors in their tongs and heat sensors along their jaw. THeir curving teeth grasp their prey, and then they squeeze them to death- swallowing them whole. This snake is native to Southeast Asia.On page 45 it explained that they “thrive in the warm, humid, climate,” everglades, which is a similar to the marshes off the Florida everglades.No doubt this snake is something to take seriously. https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224370967 2018-01-24 18:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224370967 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224371412 2018-01-24 18:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224371412 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224371432 2018-01-24 18:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224371432 Ella https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224374922 Sense the Burmese Pythons are roaming the Florida everglades the town must come up with a way to get rid of them… Preserving the ecosystem of the Florida everglades is very important. In addition to the thousands of Burmese pythons in the Florida everglades, the WIldlife Commision is sponsoring a Python Challenge to kill these snakes. To get more people to participate there will be prizes for the Python Challenge. According to page 45, the video, and page 46 it says that the person who kills the most snakes gets a grand prize of $1,500. And, the person who kills the longest snake gets a reward of $1,000. The Burmese Pythons appearance in Florida’s everglades is a man made event. Cleary the Pythons were released by humans. The lucrative pet market, and the unawareness of the snakes growth caused the need to have a python challenge. Since the people were unaware of the snake and the snake’s growth they should’ve educated themselves before they got them as a pet. So stay inside for the next couple weeks!

According to page 45 the snake is an invasive species with no natural predators. Ever since the release of the Burmese python the population of small animals had decreased.According to video one population of small animals went down by 98%. so,you might want to reschedule that trip to the florida everglades]]> 2018-01-24 18:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224375126 Aniko https://padlet.com/cjelderks/5k0rnrhclyje/wish/224375187 One way people in the state of Florida are helping get rid of these pythons is, the Python Challenge. There are people who catch them but, they do it for a prize. To me it seems like the state is just using the huge population of invasive pythons to get money instead of treating them like the problem they are. I noticed in source 3: page 46 the text states that, if you harvest the biggest python or even the longest you will win up to $1,500. Don’t forget that if you do want to do this challenge you have to pay an $25 fee. People are also trained to catch and kill some pythons. For instance, since there are so many Burmese pythons in the everglades, people want to learn how to catch them if needed. The information in video 1 states that, in the year of 2016 about 500 people in Florida had signed up to learn how to catch or kill a Burmese python. People have careless actions regarding exotic pets. According to source 4: Page 47, it states that, “An exotic pet dealers warehouse that had housed nearly 900 Burmese pythons was destroyed during Hurricane Andrews, and many of these pythons escaped”. Another source of evidence states that, “We should do a better job to educating people about the effect their careless actions have on ecosystems here in Florida and around the world”. I don’t believe they should allow people to bring pythons into the state of Florida any longer but, there are varying ideas about what should be done about the Burmese python problem in the everglades.

One important fact is that the Burmese python is endangering animals in the everglades. In video 1 98% of the animals are disappearing. According to page 45 they have no natural predators in the everglades so all they do is kill and eat other animals. Another essential point is that they were released by their owners. The evidence to support this is on page 45 it mentions, the people that had them as pets didn't know how big they could get, so, they released them into the everglades because they couldn't properly care for them. In addition, there is a huge population of burmese pythons in the Florida everglades. For instance, on page it states “Tens of thousands of burmese pythons are estimated to be living in the everglades, where they thrive warm, humid climate.” These invasive pythons are ruining a beautiful park.

This snake doesn’t belong in the Everglade. According to page 45, the snake is an invasive species with no natural predators.

These snakes are killing everything. Page 44 says, “Although they have no venom, they have other, quite effective means of killing their prey.” They can eat their prey in one swallow. According to

People release the burmese python into the wild according to page 44 it states that they release them into the wild because the snake gets too big and difficult to care for and manage. The python challenge is a challenge that people can sign up for and kill as many pythons as they can because on page 45 it says that the prize for killing the most pythons was 1,500 and the prize for killing the longest one was 1,000. People buy their burmese pythons from exotic pet dealers and within the text i found that people buy their burmese pythons without researching or knowing anything about them. The python challenge i think is not the way they should get rid of the problem they could have had professional hunters to capture the snakes and take them to a safer place.

The Burmese Pythons does not belong in the florida everglades. According to page 45 it says that the Burmese python has no natural predators and is wiping out huge numbers of animals. The snake reproduces a lot at a time.

Obviously the snakes are quite big, but to go furthermore they lay up to 100 eggs at a time, which means they are creating more snakes to endanger more species. The Burmese pythons also grow at a rapidly fast rate. Since the snake grows fast, pet owners released the python into the Florida everglades when the snake got to big. So don’t let your dog outside!

And that my friends is the Burmese python.

Although, this may seem like your average snake you must be warned, this snake is a terrifying beast, with amazing hunting skills, and can literally swallow you whole. Be careful!!!

Throughout this passage you will learn amazing facts among these three main ideas: Pythons characteristics, how the Burmese python is an invasive species, and the python challenge.

Basically, the Burmese python is a world record out of most snakes and probably the most dangerous. First, the Burmese python is one of the most biggest snakes in the world. On page 44 Matt Piven says,”...capable of growing to an astounding length of 23 feet and weigh up to 200 pounds.” That is pretty OUTRAGEOUS!!! Second, they are Native to Southeast Asia. The passage on page 45 Andrew Nig explains how the Burmese python thrives in warm, humid, climates, which Southeast Asia has. And third, they are very skilled hunters.Within the text I found that snakes can hunt in the dark because, they have chemical receptors in their tongues and heat sensors along their jaws.Their “ back-curving,” teeth grasp their prey, and then they squeeze them to death--swallowing them whole. And so, obviously this snake is something to take serious.

While the Burmese python is a beautiful and wondrous creature, irresponsible exotic pet owners had released the Burmese pythons into the Florida Everglades causing the pythons to be an invasive species. As, I have mentioned people have irresponsibly let the pythons loose into the habitat. In the passage Burmese Python: The Ecosystem Challenge on page 47 EchEchoes explains how it is utterly stupid for exotic pet owners to not do research on the animal and let the pythons out into the wild where the do not belong in the Florida Everglades. Not, only do they not belong in that type of habitat but, they do not belong in the Florida Everglades. According to page 45 the Burmese Python is an invasive species and with no natural predators. Ever since the release of Burmese pythons the population of the small animals had decreased. On video #1 the population of the small animals had gone down by approximately 98%. :( So, you might want to reschedule that trip the the Florida Everglades. From, all of the information that I have gathered, I have come to realise that the Burmese python is a beautiful and magnificent creature that has been mistaken as a horrific monster because, of the increasing population of the Burmese python in Florida all due to irresponsible pet owners.

These pythons would make the everglades bare,and ruined. Animals other than pythons help the everglades every day.

These prodigious snakes do not below in the Florida everglades. According to page 45, this snake is an invasive species with no natural predators. Snakes are killing everything in their way. On page 44, it states, “Although they have no venom, they have other, quite effective means of killing their prey.” Burmese pythons are starting animal extinction. According to “reptilesmagazine.org” , pythons have a certain diet. Usually eat up to “10-14 times a day”. This is a problem for wildlife animals that help the environment everyday. Eventually these pythons are going to destroy wildlife and ruin the environment.

According to the text on page 45, for 30 days, hundreds of people who may be experienced or inexperienced are armed with weapons, are marching through the everglades, ready to hunt and kill the coveted snakes.

The python challenge awards prizes for specific achievements. On page 45, the text states that “With a grand prize of $1,500 awarded to the hunter that kills the most pythons, and another $1,000 to the hunter who bags the longest one”. And, the person who bags the longest one will receive $1,000. But, doing that is easier said than done. The snakes are well camouflaged, and they are adapted to avoid detection.

The appearance of the burmese python is a result of man. Careless pet owners released them when they grew to large. Now, professionals are teaching civilians to identify, handle, and harvest the giant snakes. Scientist are teaching the hunters the effects the snake shave on the environment. With a $25 registration fee, people are flocking into the everglades to help save Florida's wonderful environment
