flag Burmese pythons are spreading beyond the Everglades into Florida’s Gulf Coast, raising ecological concerns.

flag Burmese pythons, an invasive species from Southeast Asia, are being spotted more frequently beyond the Everglades along Florida’s Gulf Coast, signaling a northward expansion of their range. flag Recent sightings, including one captured by resident Wade Gardener near his home, indicate the snakes are establishing themselves in new areas. flag Experts attribute the spread to factors like climate change, habitat suitability, and the snakes’ adaptability, with no natural predators in Florida. flag The growing presence raises concerns over their impact on native wildlife, as they prey on birds, mammals, and other animals. flag Ongoing efforts to control their population include trapping, public reporting, and research, but their secretive nature and reproductive success make eradication difficult.
