If not seen in the wild, Burmese pythons can be seen at Skunk Ape Headquarters in Ochopee, where the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has permitted the educational display of the nonnative snakes that infest the Everglades following decades of pet releases.

Year of the Snake and its meaning
This Lunar New Year, also sometimes called the Chinese, Vietnamese or Tibetan New Year, is known as Year of the Snake, and more specifically Year of the Wood Snake. It started on Jan. 29 — a bit earlier than many years. There are slight variations in the zodiac among these cultures, but the New Year is often celebrated with a two-week kickoff from the new moon to the full moon.
