Yes, those are the Loubotin blue snake skin Declics.Florida's first-ever python hunting season ended last night. State wildlife authorities sponsored the pilot program in an attempt to put a dent in the state's exploding python population. Python species like the Burmese Python were introduced into the wild by would-be pet owners who buy the pets at reptile shows and pet stores then realize they cannot properly care for the fast-growing voracious eaters. The snakes can grow to be over 10 feet long and weigh over 250 lbs; it is estimated several thousand of the snakes now inhabit the numerous wild areas in south and central Florida with numbers increasing daily due to natural reproduction and lack of natural predators; earlier this year, officials found a deceased python who had burst open after ingesting a large alligator.
