In early February, Florida wildlife officers visited a reptile dealer in Sunrise to investigate illegal possession of snakes, enforcing a new law designed to prevent further infestations of the state by non-native species.

Inside the house, in enclosures that resembled fish tanks, they found his collection. They confiscated 26 reticulated pythons, members of the world’s longest snake species, capable of growing to lengths of 20 feet, according to an incident report from the state wildlife commission. They seized nine Burmese pythons, the species that has colonized the Everglades, devastating populations of mammals. And they took a Burmese-reticulated python hybrid.
