The presence of invasive species in the Everglades is a problem because invasive species have no natural predators, they therefore multiply uncontrollably and devastate populations of native birds and mammals. Our main concerning species are pythons. Pythons are very small, 13-14 inches long, when they are first sold at exotic pet conventions. After 3-4 years pythons can grow to 8...
