Invasive Species We Study: Burmese Pythons
USGS scientists continue to conduct research on invasive Burmese pythons in Everglades National Park and other DOI lands in South Florida to aid in the management of these large, voracious constrictor snakes. Our research on Burmese pythons has focused on developing and testing methods for detection and control, predicting potential range of the species in the U.S., understanding thermal tolerances and conducting a risk assessment of pythons to humans.
