They are tan with dark 'giraffe' spots on the back and sides.
They are known to eat wood stark, Key Largo woodrats, and more. They compete with native predators for food, habitat, and space.]]> 2019-05-07 14:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/357633263 Where Did They Come From? letmebetRACER https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362207669 These pythons come from southeast Asia. The jungles and grassy marshes, to be exact. 
They now populate the Everglades, Florida. 
 They have predators in the Everglades, too. Those consist of  alligators, American crocodiles, black bears, and cougars.
Hatchlings are vulnerable to hawks, golden eagles, bobcats, and raccoons. 
Abiotic factors that affect the python is lack of water, higher temperature, and lack of shade]]> 2019-05-21 16:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362207669 How Did This Harmful Snake Come Into The Everglades? letmebetRACER https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362228116 In the 1970s, the Burmese python was actually spotted after an irresponsible pet owner released it.]]> 2019-05-21 16:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362228116 Where Did They Live Before? letmebetRACER https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362234083 Burmese pythons lived in the marshes and jungles of southeast Asia.
As they do in the Everglades, their predators consist the same animals.
Hatchlings are vulnerable to the same animals, as well. 
They eat small mammals and birds. Large pythons can eat pigs or goats. They also attack alligators]]> 2019-05-21 17:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362234083 The Key Largo Woodrat letmebetRACER https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362307353 The Key Largo woodrat is a rat that has been affected by the Burmese python. It is not just an epidemic in the Everglades, it's a problem in Key Largo.
Because the Burmese python is the apex predator, the population of the snake is growing wildly. 
With the increasing population, the Largo rats are dwindling. They will soon be extinct if not helped.]]> 2019-05-21 19:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362307353 Is The Burmese Python Invasive Or Just Non Native? letmebetRACER https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362311101 The Burmese python is definitely invasive. They are the apex predator, as mentioned before, so they have no natural predators to the snake themselves. ]]> 2019-05-21 20:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/letmebetRACER/oneenfmogkgc/wish/362311101
