As a young python, many animals will prey upon the snake. In the Southeast U.S., they might be eaten by Birds of Prey, foxes, coyotes, alligators, American Crocodiles, and a host of others. As adults, maybe a hungry and desperate gator or croc might try, but humans are the main predators of adults.
because of their population is over growing and they dint have any natural predators they are every where and people that use to own these pythons are setting them free in to the everglades and the population keeps over growing
They aren't "everywhere," but they are invasive. However, realize that it isn't a dedicated pet owner/reptile keeper that releases their animal. Burmese pythons are very "cute" when they are two foot babies. Some people who are not in any way prepared purchase this large constrictor as a baby, only to realize it will not always be the small snake they saw in the pet store, rather a 15+ ft. python. Responsible reptile keepers are not to blame. What we must remember, however, when dealing with an invasive species is that the animal didn't choose to be there (it would be happier in its natural range), and it's doing the only thing it knows how to- survive.
In their natural habitat - primarily humans who encroach into their territory.
Tropical/sub tropical areas.

Burmese pythons currently are living in Florida and are becoming an invasive species.
The Key Largo Woodrat is an an endangered species. The Burmese Python is an invasive species, and is harming many native and endangered species in the Everglades. A Burmese Python can even eat an alligator - it will eat anything, no matter what size. This is why the Key Largo Woodrat is threatened by the Burmese Pythons.
There are many python species - including... Burmese Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, Royal Pythons, Carpet Pythons, Childrens Pythons, Blood Pythons, & Indian Pythons
The best example I can think of is Florida. There are several invasive species there that are causing a lot of problems. The most worrisome being a few varieties of python. Burmese pythons have grown to a large population, and African Rock Pythons are starting to grow in number. They are reducing the numbers of most of the native species in the everglades, and human deaths due to wild pythons in Florida are becoming more and more common.
Tropical wading birds, alligators and Burmese pythons are examples of animals that use the Everglades for breeding grounds. The latter is an invasive species.
Burmese Pythons are an invasive species in Florida as they have been introduced by pet owners wishing to get rid of pet snakes they are tired of. As an invasive species they have no native enemies to keep their numbers down and reproduce without limit. Native species have nonnatural defines or awareness of them or their hunting methods and fall easy victim to the pythons. This decreases the native animals and allows rapid growth of the python population. As a top predator they can prey on all other animals from rabbits to deer decreasing the food supply for the normal predators such as alligators.
It's an environment they can thrive in, and they don't really have any natural predators in the area. Not to mention idiots keep letting them loose in the Everglades.
Nope - Burmese Pythons are constrictors. The do not possess venom glands.
Burmese Pythons, like all Pythons, hatch from eggs. Boas do not lay eggs
burmese pythons' come from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam
Burmese Pythons are native to the Asian continent - around Burma (hence the name) and India.
Burmese pythons are constrictors meaning they strangle their prey to death, and the consume them whole.
