This shows that pythons are constantly multiplying and don’t appear to be stopping any time soon. Burmese pythons are taking over the Everglades by overpopulation. Finally, Burmese pythons are overall affecting people. In the article, Florida’s Python Hunt, it states, “The state’s Fish and Wildlife Commision is sponsoring its first ever Python Challenge. Open to the public from Jan. 12 until Feb. 10, the challenge is to hunt and kill Burmese pythons, with a grand prize of $1,500 awarded to the hunter who kills the most pythons and another $1,000 for the hunter who bags the largest one” (Source 2). People from all around the country will gather in Florida for an incentive of prize money, to ruthlessly shoot and attempt to kill as many pythons as possible. This will increase tourism and possibly bring danger to oblivious people hiking in the Everglades. “According to a recent article in The New York Times, some scientists predict that pythons may one day inhabit one third of the U.S.-maybe even arriving in New York City by 2100” (Source 5).
