It depends on what you think is fun. You cannot take a snake out and "play" with it, they are not like that. You can hold them, but not more than once or twice a day or they will get stressed. Some species cannot be handled for more than a few minutes every few weeks. If you want a fun pet get a dog or a cat.

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.
