Florida's Burmese python Problem

[jeff of pa]

first I Heard they sent in Pickle & Troy (Like Abbot & Costello ?)

Then I Heard they Made it into a Yearly Contest inviting Groups

Then Robotic Rabbits

Then Honeybadgers, Did the Pythons Swallow them Whole ?
or did the Honeybadgers attack Pickle & Troy

Now Turning them into Leather Goods

but they still gotta catch them first. will it be like a Bounty Thing ?

What's Next on the List ?

They already have bounty hunts and hire people to remove with bounty on each one found. All pythons must be killed on spot, they can not be transported live.

There are a lot of different things being done to help eradicate the pythons. DeSantis has 2 million thrown at it along with the company using the python hides. Every little bit helps. I've said before if they would pay a thousand bucks a snake bounty the Mexicans would have them killed off in a year.

Or the Pythons would be Fatter

Or tell the Chinese they help with virility.

Unfortunately, hunting them is a lost cause. The area is too large and too difficult to cover enough ground to really make a difference. What scares me is the thought that some bio firm will come out with a chemical or other means and it will go bad as usual with these type fixes.

It is crazy hard to navigate most of the glades & the pythons have no problem with it at all. Also they have been expanding their way north. Still, you have to try. I'm serious about a bounty. History proves if you put a high dollar value on an animal it goes extinct or close to it quickly. So, 1000 a snake × 1 million snakes is a billion dollars. Sounds reasonably fair to save a ecosystem like the Everglades. I think Elon Musk paid Billions for Twitter which is basically worthless in my opinion.

Maybe they can make a remake of Tremors with Pythons instead. Better idea than almost all of the current garbage Hollyweird has been putting out.

There are monkeys in Florida too. A fairly large population of Rhesus monkeys in Ocala at Silver Springs State Park. There are Vervet monkeys living abd breeding near Fort Lauderdale and there were Squirrel monkeys breeding for some time but have been rare sightings as of late. There are a lot of invasive species of animals down here including Jacuarundi's.
