@Lori W - newsflash for you. The trade of these snakes (to include all constrictor species) is what caused this mess. We need to outlaw both the trade and breeding market of these snakes in the United States. The vast majority of people in the U.S. who buy these snakes have no experience with husbandry of these animals. They very quickly find out they are in way over their head and then decide it’s a really good idea to release them in the wild. The Everglades is the PERFECT environment for them to thrive. They have no natural predators to keep them in check and a food supply readily available.

Hunting for them back then would be a literal needle in a haystack search. Majority of the Everglades is not navigable. It's only because there are countless thousands that any are caught now.

Fascinating! I like to be protective of animals but I know that non-native species are a huge threat to the ecosystems where they invade. There are many many examples including the Asian Hornet, Northern Pike, and of course these pythons. There are many many more and they can have a disastrous impact on native species.

@TCK-9

2 жыл бұрын

Although the northern pike is native to most of the areas where it currently exists which is most all of North America and Eurasia, it is only just invasive in limited bodies of water or basins where we introduced it for enhanced sport fishing where to our knowledge it didn't exist before but even then they are not sure in most cases whether it may have been eradicated previously to provide more space for species such as trout and salmon, since a lot of these limited invasive areas are usually surrounded by normal ranges. A lot of this was done in the last part of the 19th and first half of the 20th century when a local club or rich resort/land owner would make unilateral decisions about the biology of the lakes they fished on without consulting local, state, or local oversight. The key to their success is their very early spawn times which gives their fry and minnows an advantage over even their cousins the musky which allows them to feed on everything spawning after them; it really isn't the adult fish killing off the bigger bass or trout, but the baby's devouring the smaller, younger fish and continuing this pattern into adulthood - always a step ahead. A good one to bring up especially for fisher people like ourselves, but not really in the same category at all. At least they are tasty and incredibly easy to fish.

They don't have a taste for humans though, they don't outright hunt us. They are ambush predators and may attack a person sure, but if they're fleeing and then striking you out of defense for chasing they won't go ahead and constrict and eat you. There's not much reason for humans to fear them, but yes to respect and generally stay away. Their bites alone are nasty, their teeth will shred your skin when they let go and will require you get stitches.

A few years back I contacted one of the universities in FL with a hypothesis in an attempt to locate such species by producing an artificial microclimate in the everglades, or for that matter anywhere reptilian invasive species exist. In simplistic terms, I would use the sun with solar collectors warming water to create a warm microclimate in hopes the species will track to the warmer microclimate. There is more to it than this but that's the basics. Just a thought. Great presentation.

Great job guys. I always watch Python Cowboy. Great KZread channel.

Everybody complaining about the python being killed need to GO LEARN ABOUT INVASIVE SPECIES and how devastating they are to an ecosystem. In my state you must kill ANY invasive species you catch wether fishing or whatever or turn it over to a game warden so they can kill it.

There are way to many invasive species in the US. I'm sick of people being selfish and wanting an animal they shouldn't have and bringing them into our country illegally. It's disgusting how they smuggle them into the US. People should be fined heavily, if they are caught with anything that isn't native to the US and should go to jail for at least a year and have to work with people who understand how this affects our native animals.

@@rdelamadrid I would agree to an extent. Someone's pet.... yeah that's a dick move. A feral that belongs to no one but everyone claims is the neighborhood cat and everyone feeds it, yeah have at it. Someone's barn cats are actually necessary for barn life leave them alone. A completely feral population living in dumpsters warehouses, abandoned buildings, and culverts, yes absolutely. See when a cat is someone's animal it's their property just like any dog would be. Kindly keep trying to educate them on the damage they do when they're indoors and outdoors or just outdoors. We grew up on the farm and we actually needed a crew of cats to keep livestock and food stock safe. But I have persuaded multiple people who I personally know closely that their cats have no reason to be out, it's just you feeling guilty for having them inside. They typically say well I care about their freedom, I want them to feel like they still can run free. Do whatever a cat does. I wouldn't want to be cooped up in the house for the rest of my days. I care too much about animals. And that's typically when I say yes and if you really truly care about animal's and wildlife, then you'll understand that domestic cats are actually no longer wild animals and only devastate the natural wildlife around you. Yeah but they're spayed/neutered. Reproduction is only a part of the problem. Even if you feed them well they're still likely killing native wildlife because it's instinctual. You can't make an animal not have prey drive. Cats are even known to kill when not hungry, just to kill. You realize that one single cat will have a kill record of 300+ animals in a year even if they don't eat them. Even if you feed them. Even if they spend x amount of time indoors. Even if they are spayed/neutered. They don't just kill mice. Anything from birds, to farm stock like chickens to rabbits, mink. To wild raccoons, possums, rabbits, ground hogs, etc etc. They can kill things twice their size. They are not a bobcat. They are as invasive as the pythons in Florida and truly are even more of a threatening problem than the pythons in Florida. It's just people love cats because they are fluffy and cute even if they are diseased and feral people still care about them, even if devastating the entire world's ecosystems. Yet the pythons who literally can't freeze or become a mass issue anywhere except extreme southern Florida maybe just maybe in 100+yrs be able to survive northern Florida maybe Georgia and Mississippi. But that's pretty far fetched. All of a sudden everyone fears the spread of the invasion of pythons across the southern US because ohhhhh how devastating they are they're going to wipe out everything in their path. Ok so tremors was a complete fictional movie, that was worms not snakes. A single snake will have less kills per year than a single cat. Cats can survive anywhere in the North American continent, pythons can't. What should people really fear here? If the native wildlife is what people really care about. And not just because they hate the snake itself. Fear driven hysteria.

Truth of the matter is that not all these burms they catch are from ppl letting their pets go. A hurricane took out a huge breeding facility which is likely where the vast majority of invasive reptiles came from. In no way am i saying ppl haven't left their animals go or their pets escaped because I'm sure it has happened but to place the entire blame on that is just ridiculous in my opinion.

Also there needs to be a research piece that perhaps will allow for the snakes to be able to breed. It requires a total effort otherwise it is just bs.
