Pythons in the South Florida Everglades, A cautionary Tale PART II

[krisweezy92]

you're all a bunch of freaks..its nature species of animals go extinct!! how many species have we as humans eradicated? exactly..a whole lot more than these pythons have.

[mullberryfly]

When do they begin to reproduce and concentrate on the large females of reproductive age.

Put a bounty on them. Heck, we almost wiped out alligators for their skin, so why not pythons.

I used to see ignorant red necks kill any snake they would come across in the Glades. Give the dummies some money and they will go nuts. Only problem is, they can't tell the difference between a King Snake and a python, ha!!

How many have been caught since March, 2010?

[IndividualAutonomy]

Whatever it takes they must be stopped, removed, or killed. I hope they don't come up to north florida.

@IndividualAutonomy I'll be doing my part to eradicate them come winter, as I've been doing for the past 20 or so winters. One bit of silver lining in this rather dark cloud: Governor Charlie Crist signed the bill eliminating the ownership & importation of the 7 largest members of exotic constrictors. It's still an uphill battle but the hill doesn't seem as steep anymore.
