The pythons began turning up in the Everglades in 1979, most likely abandoned by pet owners when the snakes got too big to handle. They have no natural predators.

I read yesterday about a guy who won a cash prize by capturing a bunch of them. A few weekends ago, I held and petted a few of them. Very affectionate and docile. Kind of like a kitten! Very soft under their chin. But in the wild, they can be dangerous.

I have a major fear of snakes even little ones..One of my cats took one home with him one day. I almost scared all the hair of him with my screaming.
