Burmese pythons live all over the world and it is impossible to determine how many of them are left in the wild. Many of their habitats are not out in the open so there is not even an estimate of how many there are.

Does the Burmese Python have any good contributions to the US?
From an outsiders point of view - I'd say no. The 'problems' caused by the apparent explosion in the population of Burmese Pythons is entirely the fault of human carelessness and indifference - there are always alternatives to just releasing an alien species the size of a Burmese python into the wild of a foreign country, rather than re-home it !It just goes to prove that people should research animals properly before they take on the responsibility !
