Save (Some Of) the Snakes

“Pet Burmese pythons have been released into the wild in Florida where they've become invasive. In their natural habitat, these pythons have predators. But, in Florida, there is nothing to stop them from destroying the local ecology. In general, it's best to leave all snakes alone, but the Florida government actually encourages the removal and destruction of Burmese pythons.”
