I do not think the pythons are that bad as they make them to be. Florida doesn't have a history of isolation. I thought the decline of mammals was possible, but I don't see anything going extinct by the pythons. Only for already vulnerable species, such as the rat, it becomes a problem.

That Florida panthers need huge areas of wilderness I would also take with a grain of salt. It depends on food and shelter availability. Few people would have expected wolves, leopards and bears surviving in developed areas, but yet they do.
