Throwback to a wild Burmese python underwater in the Everglades back in 2015. Most people would never know this photo was taken underwater if I didn’t tell them, it was in a spot with very clear water.

A snake’s tongue is flicked out to collect scent particles and bring them back to the Jacobson’s organ for analyzation, providing the animal with a sensitive scent detection ability. Not only do snakes flick their tongues through the air for this, but also underwater as seen in this photo. Pretty neat! Pythons are also just as at home in the water as on land, if not more so. Almost all the pythons I catch are within a hundred yards of water.

Pythons are consistently a very controversial topic with a lot of misinformation and lack of education on the subject. I spend the majority of my post’s going over the same repetitive questions, so

I made a blog to cover all the frequently asked questions such as why are they here, how big do they get, what do they eat, ecological threats, bounty, comparisons to feral cats, how many, can they be eradicated, what happens to ones you catch, can they be rehomed, and more! Watch video below
