This is interesting on the FWC page..especially the last line.

As a Reptile of Concern, Burmese pythons must be licensed by FWC's Captive Wildlife Section to be kept as a pet. The license costs $100 per year and mandates specific caging requirements. Burmese pythons more than 2 inches in diameter must be implanted with a microchip that identifies the animal. This rule applies to all Reptiles of Concern. It is unlawful to allow one to escape or to release one into the wild.
The Burmese python is commonly kept as a pet because it is more docile than other large nonnative constrictors.
There is a low risk of a human attack. Documented human attacks by pythons in the United States involve the snake's owner or immediate family
