Carpet Python (Morelia spilota), a large, non-venomous snake found in Australia.They are known to climb trees effortlessly and are often found in the canopy during the day, although they are primarily nocturnal ambush predators.While they have large fangs, they lack venom and instead rely on constriction to hunt and kill prey.Carpet pythons can grow quite large, with some coastal subspecies reaching up to 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) in length.
Burmese pythons are established in the park due to accidental or intentional release of captive pet animals. Pythons eat many different kinds of animals, and studies show that pythons are probably the main reason that mammals have declined very sharply in number in Everglades National Park. Even though pythons are large snakes, their coloring and behavior allows them to blend into the environment. Since they are so hard to find in the wild, estimating the number of pythons is very difficult.
Everglades National Park and our partners have spent more than 10 years investigating ways to remove pythons from the environment. We work to remove pythons from the park via our authorized agent program and we continue to support research on how to mitigate Burmese pythons.
The problems posed by Burmese pythons in Everglades National Park show that preventing the release of exotic animals is extremely important. Once they are established, removal becomes much, much harder. YOU have an important role to play in preventing the spread and establishment of exotic species. Don’t release unwanted pets and learn other ways you can help. Remember “Don’t Let it Loose.”
The park remains an extraordinary natural ecosystem and a wonderful place to visit. Remember, always keep a safe distance when viewing wildlife in the park (at least 15 to 20 feet; 4.5 to 6 meters) and do not harass or feed wildlife.

Ok you say two paving stones with two great comedians, but the guide at the Globe on the South bank tells a story. Each of the paving slabs has the name of the benefactor on it to the Globe. So as to who got the biggest slab they had a bet. Palin won but in true Python style Cleese said you may have the bigger slab but you are having your name spelt wrong
