Snakes creep through the Everglades in Florida. Most are pythons from Asia.

They were pets. They got too big. Owners let them go.

Python hunters catch the snakes. There are thousands more. 

 

READ MORE: The Everglades has been called “a river of grass.” It is a National Park filled with birds, animals, trees, swamps, and marshes.  Burmese pythons do not belong there. They eat much of the Everglades’ wildlife. State officials and volunteers work hard to remove these snakes. God promises in Isaiah 65:25, “Dust shall be the [serpents’] food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain.”
