A Burmese python is 150 pounds, sixteen feet long, and may live closer to you than you think. Burmese pythons are native to India and South Asia . . . so what are they doing in Florida? This book describes the python and how the introduction of this invasive species has already upset the fragile ecosystem of the Florida Everglades. It also covers how scientists are trying to figure out how to stop the snakes from spreading any farther.
