Burmese Pythons came to America the way many exotic animals do, through zoos, pet stores, wildlife refuges, etc. Many have ended up in the wild in the U.S. due to hurricanes and irresponsible owners.

∙ 14y agoBecause of there unique beauty. United states citizens often have these as pets but they sometimes get to big. Then the owner might release them into the wild. Burmese Pythons are taking over the everglades. This is a perfect habitat for them they have no natural predators. Scientist are even worried that the Burmese Pythons might wipe out endangeered species in the everglades.

∙ 11y agoWell I keep Snakes, Lizards and Turtles as pets because I can not have any type of fur bearing animal as a pet due to my severe Allergies... Not even horses... Some people keep them just to weird people out or to keep people away but there are many, like me, who have allergies and though we want to we are not able to enjoy the companionship of a dog or cat. Plus reptiles do not require as much maintenance as a mammal or bird. Many people who keep reptiles also keep fish and insects as well, I have fish but the insects creep me out.

How do you think pythons got to Florida?
Pythons got into Florida because people had kept pythons as exotic pets, but as they grew bigger, people realized that they didn't want their pythons anymore because they got too big to live in their house, so the people in Florida who had pythons released them into the wild. Because there were numerous people who had pythons as exotic pets, and then released them in the Everglades into the wild, there were eventually enough pythons that they could successfully reproduce and live in the Florida Everglades.

Are green tree pythons good for begginer pets?
Absolutely not. Green tree pythons may look majestic and pretty but they are fairly very expensive and their equipment is very expensive too(and to care for them is quite difficult). I would recommend a tree Python for at least a 4th or 5th snake (and maybe even a 3rd) but not for a 2nd or a begginer snake.
