Known for their excellent swimming abilities, these pythons can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, marshes, and rivers. Due to their attractive pattern and docile nature, they are often kept as pets, though they require careful handling due to their size and strength. Invasive populations in ecosystems such as Florida’s Everglades pose significant challenges to local wildlife, competing with native predators for food resources. ***
