However, invasive populations have become established in areas like the Everglades in Florida due to pet releases and escapes. Fully grown, these snakes can reach lengths over 20 feet and weigh up to 200 pounds, making them formidable predators. They are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers but can thrive in a variety of habitats, including marshes, rivers, and grasslands. Burmese Pythons are known for their constricting method of subduing prey, which includes birds, mammals, and other reptiles. Conservationists express concern for their impact on local wildlife in non-native regions where they are considered invasive.
