GBIFID: 3764108664; Occurrence Remarks: Photos in order of appearance (second is the best representation of the snake). Snake likely between 7 and 9 feet. This python was captured on a game camera set to a 24 hour time lapse with photos taken every minute. The next day when I went through the photos, I put together a team of 4 biologists/contractors and a python detection dog and searched the area. Despite several hours of intensive searching, the snake was not found. I put up 4 additional game cameras set to time lapse in areas where the dog alerted. But after 2 weeks of no further detections, they were taken down. EDDMapS Observation: https://www.eddmaps.org/distribution/point.cfm?id=10463040;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 479.00000.

GBIFID: 3915356039; Occurrence Remarks: DOR Burmese python hatchling found by CLNWR volunteers on 9/17/22 at 0730. I hadnt road cruised the night before so theres no telling when exactly it was hit but it looked to be in decent shape, so probably not to far back. Volunteers collected the animal and brought it back to CLNWR for measurements but no exact pin was taken, but the location was near power pole 226, right outside the entrance to CLNWR.

GBIFID: 3994127903; Occurrence Remarks: To this date, the second largest Burmese python caught in the Florida Keys. The animal was located in a novel way, it had eaten a Virginia opossum outfitted with a satellite telemetry collar. After a set period of inactivity, the collar would send off signal indicating that the animal was dead. Well this happened, and then the collar would move a few hundred feet, then go back on mortality signal, then move again and so on. After a week of this, we decided to go see what was up with the animal, so we tracked it to the hardwood-mangrove edge underground, odd for a opossum. We set up a grid of camera traps and baited them with cat food and no opossum showed up. A few days later, we tried digging at the point where the signal was strongest, thinking that maybe the collar slipped and after an hour we saw scales! We were able to extract the python that day after quite a fight pulling her from her burrow.

GBIFID: 3994081235; Occurrence Remarks: Following the extraction of the large female Burmese python on 11/1 we left 4 game cameras set on a 1 photo/minute time lapse in the area. Two days later, 2 presumably male pythons turned up in the area looking for the large female. The two were confirmed as separate individuals on the basis of pattern on the right side near the head of the snake. Despite weeks of searching with a burrowscope and a python detection dog, neither snake was recovered and are prrobably on the loose somewhere in Key Largo still. This individual, Squiggle, actually returned to the hole several times before abandoning the site fully about a week later.

GBIFID: 4901845984; Occurrence Remarks: Probably the most beautiful and impressive wild animal I have ever seen.

About 5ft in length. I hate having to kill these things, man. Theyre so cool. https://youtu.be/_KeO1jv-nJM?si=zS3OX3BYOzdpmziJ;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 122.00000.

Occurrence Remarks: Posting this because my fed friends are currently unable to do so (and I forgot about this). Looks to be a decently large python caught in North Key Largo, FWC and Public Safety did succesffully capture this individual. But this is evidence that they are interacting enough with the cat colony to be captured on camera. Who knows how many feral cats have disappeared.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 29981.00000.

We went out with a python detection dog and 2 biologists to try and locate the python but it evaded capture despite 2 hours of searching. The snake was headed south into state land so it has likely escaped into the mangroves.

There is a repeat frame, I used one as a thumbnail because it was the most dramatic of the sequence.┬áThere is also a gif summarizing most of the sequence at the end. First fully documented instance of a Burmese python striking at, subduing, and consuming an animal in its invasive range. All on camera! This python struck 5 times at Key Largo cotton mice within an old network of pipes, two of strikes were successful. During one evening, the snake successfully consumed one mouse, and attempted to eat a second shortly after. These cotton mice are less than 1% of this pythons biomass. Which shows that even large snakes are eating very small prey items when present.┬á The Key Largo cotton mouse is a federally endangered subspecies of cotton mouse found only in Key Largo, so this series of events is particularly concerning for the future of these animals. Key Largo woodrats, another federally protected rodent, were also found in this tunnel.

Within two weeks of moving to Key Largo I found this one under some tin at the abandoned Nike Base. I had just recieved FWCs python handling training days before and it all flew right out of my head when I grabbed her. I called up my coworker to help unwind the snake from my arm and de-purple me. Then I realized I could just use the hand I was holding the phone with to do that. I figured it out eventually. She was integrated into our now defunct Scout Python program, given the codename Dolores (Dory), and was re-released into the wild where she was tracked daily. We hoped males would be attracted to her during the mating season but none ever came.

Occurrence Remarks: Large female Burmese python on her clutch. In Florida, the mothers will alter the temperature of her clutch through a process called shivering thermogenesis. They will clench their body and the metabolic heat will slightly increase the ambient temperature of the clutch. Read more about here: She had 40 viable eggs and 12 non-viable eggs in the clutch. The snake has been donated alive to USGS as a possible scout python. Her clutch has likewise been donated for offspring sex-ratio analysis. I estimate her length to be 14+ ft and incredibly heavy despite her poor body condition. After months of personal neglect to care for their clutches, python mothers are often in very rough condition after the brood season. Sad for the snake, but less sad for me who had to catch the python by myself in the middle of the swamp. (Re-uploaded to include the gif and more info.
