Everyday is National Park appreciation day when you're a python on the run hiding in Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Collier-Seminole State Forest.

This is the Python version of a snap map.

Y'all know how we made it over here in the first place, right? https://t.co/PYyxoIlVla

Edit: Maybe one of my boys made it...
Awaiting confirmation

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

The Feds have done it again. Now they're tracking male snakes in heat as my boys seek out the ladies and then the Feds kill the ladies. WHAT ABOUT SNAKE RIGHTS????

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

Part of the reason me and my guys are such a problematic invasive species is they can lay 40 to 50 eggs per mating season. Its almost impossible for the feds to keep up with us. #anacondadontwantnoneofthesefacts

Lost another real one...

Some of you really bought burmese pythons as "cool, exotic pets" and then dumped us in the wild when we got big and honestly it shows

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

We wiped out the marsh rabbits, cotton tail rabbits, and foxes. Whose next??

Me when the feds are training hunting dogs to get my boys and I

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

The breeders brought us over bc were were supposed to be "gentle snakes" lol tell that to the raccoons and bobcats.

WE MADE A NEW SNAKE!! "Newly discovered hybrid pythons are threatening Florida's wildlife"

Apparently, the feds have been using "Judas snakes" to revel the location of pythons in the wild. This is some next level snitching...

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

So turns out, eDNA is our environmental DNA collected from the organic matter on us and used to monitor biodiversity. Its referred to as "metabarcoding"
How will the pythons escape the feds now?

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

We lost a real one fellas, here's one of my boys after the feds nailed him
Next, they'll autopsy his tissue and look for markers in his eDNA that could be used to track other pythons and assess his quality of life. #pouroneoutfortheboys

That awkward moment when breeders from Burma bring you over to FL as a cool, exotic pet but then you get to big to handle and are now living rough in the Everglades eating rabbits and raccoons

[Burmese Python @BurmesePython5]

Shoutout to me and my buddies for making the population of raccoons drop 99.3%
We doin' good work

@ My fellow pythons on the run, here's a map of hospitable environments we could spread to if we felt like it. Spring break in Mexico, amitre? #hateuscausetheyaintus
