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.

Why are burmese phytons invasive?

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.
