Ok, so here is what I have been thinking, and I may be wayyyy out there on this. The python problem in Florida has been blamed on a population of Burms that escaped during hurricane Andrew and adapted to life in the everglades and started breeding. Hurricane Andrew was 17 years ago so you have possibly 16 generations of pythons which were born and living in the everglades. Now to me that makes them native to the everglade environment.
I wonder if anyone has done any type of research or studies to see if the DNA or genetics of these American pythons has started to differ from the true Burms. I can imagine at some point it would, even though it may be hundreds or thousands of years. Anyway, I think the everglades pythons should be considered a sub-species and therefore called "Python Seminolidae", the Seminole Python...
