Pythons Invading New Jersey?

James Geist is a social studies teacher in New York City, so we’re pretty sure it takes a lot to shake him. But after discovering two pythons in his West Milford, New Jersey backyard in the span of four days, he’s pretty shocked.

According to the Huffington Post, Geist was sitting on his back porch when he thought he saw a tree limb move. It turned out to be a 15-foot albino python. Then, four days later, he discovered a 10-foot python. Officials believe they were pets that were released into the swamps of Jersey, which is exactly how the python problem started in the Everglades, and now they’re at the top of the food chain down there. –Brian McClintock
