Invasive Pythons in the United States: Ecology of an Introduced PredatorMost people think of pythons as giant snakes in distant tropical jungles, but Burmese pythons, which can reach lengths of over twenty feet and weigh over two hundred pounds, are now thriving in southern Florida. These natives of Asia are commonly kept as pets and presumably escaped or were released in the Everglades. Pythons are now common in this region; widespread throughout hundreds of square miles, they are breeding and appear to be expanding
Most people think of pythons as giant snakes in distant tropical jungles, but Burmese pythons, which can reach lengths of over twenty feet and weigh over two hundred pounds, are now thriving in southern Florida.
These natives of Asia are commonly kept as pets and presumably escaped or were released in the Everglades. Pythons are now common in this region; widespread throughout hundreds of square miles, they are breeding and appear to be expanding their range. Pythons are voracious predators that feed on a variety of native wildlife including wading birds, bobcats, white-tailed deer, and even alligators. Their presence has drawn dramatic media attention and stoked fears among the public that pythons may threaten not just native species but humans as well. Despite this widespread concern, information on pythons has been limited to a few scientific publications and news coverage that varies widely in fact and accuracy. With Invasive Pythons in the United States, Michael E. Dorcas and John D. Willson provide the most reliable, up-to-date, and scientifically grounded information on invasive pythons. Filled with over two hundred color photographs and fifteen figures and maps, the book will help general readers and the scientific community better understand these fascinating animals and their troubling presence in the United States. Features information on general python biology biology of Burmese pythons in their native range research on pythons in the United States history and status of introduced pythons in Florida risks pythons pose in Florida and elsewhere methods to control python populations other boas and pythons that may become or are already established in the United StatesBinding Type: Paperback

Warm, cozy and thick high-quality throw.
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is thick, non-shedding blanket - and for cold, winter nights… THE BEST. My granddaughters found it to be too warm, but not this grandma! I’m fit, but dang, these super-cold Alaska nights allow me to stay warm and cozy! If you have someone who runs a bit on the colder side, they will love this blanket! It washes beautifully. Great value!

A warm hug from this fantastic blanket!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
This is my go to blanket when I want to cozy up on the couch. So soft and warm, it’s like snuggling a hug! Washes well and lasts forever years. I replaced mine after 4 years with the same thing in a different color option! Perfect size to cover up and also a nice accent piece on the back of the couch.

In Awe
Color: Tie-dye Taupe, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
this is one of my favorite blankets I’ve ever ordered from Amazon! We use it on our couch. The colors are absolutely beautiful and stunning. It looks very earthy and kind of grounds my living room decor. It is very soft and cozy as well so it serves as many functions in my room! Probably will order another one soon for the other chair. The quality is superb.

The best ever made by anyone is the super, soft, faux fur throw/blanket by BEDSURE!
Color: Black, Size: Twin(60" X 80")
I received my Bedsure super soft Faux Fur twin blanket on 2/3/26. I ordered the black in the twin, 60” x 80” because I love to wrap a throw around me & a regular throw is just not large enough to keep me comfortable. Bedsure bedding or relaxing throws is never a bad choice. I’ve purchased numerous bedding collections & was amazed at the quality of their collections & I will NEVER buy anything BUT BEDSURE bedding. This Bedsure super soft Faux Fur, double sided twin size blanket is absolutely gorgeous & beyond my expectations even though the brand is BEDSURE. The item came nicely packaged & with instructions to just put in the dryer on low to fluff up the blanket which I did & it came out so super soft & elegant. This awesome faux fur blanket is the softest that I’ve ever had. I’m so glad that I read the reviews to help me decide what size to order & the twin size is perfect for me. You can never go wrong with BEDSURE bedding or throws. The Black Faux Fur twin blanket looks elegant on the back of the couch or chair. If I could give this product 10 stars I would. This item was an amazing value for the money. There was no smell to the blanket at all & the quality is fantastic; I’ve never had anything so super soft & is machine washable & can be dried in the dryer. The gorgeous fabric & depth in color is so rich & awesome.
