sorry to hear about your python dying...but there is a big problem with non-native species in florida. I, myself, have come across multiple non-natives species around my house and some friends. I actually killed this one snake who chased my friends dog and killed it, later to find out it was a green mamba. turns out the guy down the street just got bored with it and let it go in the woods behind the houses and thought since it was warm it would be fine and with all the woods and the creek it wouldnt ever bother people....I actually had a black rat in my backyard (they don't come this far down naturally), and a lot of morphs out there that are far from natural, lol. There was this guy on the news who ran a zoo, and he closed it down, and he got arrested because he let ALL his snakes out....hot and non-venemous...along with other animals not native down here. Sad how ignorant so many people are in this area.
