These snakes are becoming a real nuisance in south Florida- next month Florida is having a python hunting contest with cash prizes.

Hurricane Andrew probably caused this mess in 1992- many pet stores in Miami and Homestead were destroyed and those snakes escaped in large numbers- that area seemed to be the nexus of the initial wild breeding population-
Lion Fish escaped, too and are now gobbling up native saltwater fish species-- they have venemous spines and no natural predators here to stop them.

There are no birds on the beautiful tropical island of Guam because of a single invasive species of brown snake.
