    Hasn’t made much difference in the Everglades the last few decades. Hope they can get it sorted though, big snakes fuck with ecosystems when they are left unchecked. The Burmese Pythons here will eat gators if they get the chance. They eat anything really but it was always crazy to me they would eat an alligator.

      With climate change, Burmese pythons are expanding their territory and eventually expected to work their way up the coast.

        It’s not that anything would eat an alligator that’s the problem. Plenty of things will eat an alligator, as long as it’s dead. It’s taking down a live alligator and swallowing it whole that’s concerning.
