There's a lobby for everything

Even Burmese pythons! They are a problem in South Florida. They've eaten everything from alligators to rats. The most recent find was a 76 pound deer inside a python.

Senator Bill Nelson and the two Congressmen from the area have filed legislation to ban the import and sale of these dangerous snakes. But, the U.S. Association of Reptile Keepers has mounted a lobbying campaign that has thus far been successful in keeping the pythons working.

Here's a short video  of a python being removed from a local pool.
