Breed millions of pythons in captivity. Sterilize the males - chemically or via radiation - and then release the sterile males into the wild. Bye-bye baby pythons. After reading about this technique being used to control mosquito populations if I remember correctly the number of sterile males doesn’t even have to be that large (compared to the overall population) to push the birthrate way down.

Our birth rate does seem to have taken a dive...

Good. The LESS snakes in this world, the better!
Kill them all and let G-d sort them out! ;)

I don’t think they sterilized the males. I think they turned them gay.

OK, let me get this straight.
"The tribesmen have removed 13 pythons in just over a week."
"A state-sanctioned hunt netted 106 pythons in one month."
By my math, the "Murica" way is greater than 50% more effective than the Indians To solve the problem, the state needs to get out of the way and sanction the hunting indefinitely until they are all gone. And send the Indians packing.
I can't be the only one that sees this.

Here in Panama City, FL. we get invaded every year by something more dangerous than mere pythons.
We get

Hell yes. Unemployed males (and females) are too afraid to start a family.

These Indians are bringing really new skills to US and deserve H1-B’s not IT guys taking away US jobs.

Was this influx of exotic species from the Hurricane Andrew hit on the lab where these critters were studied, milked of their venom etc and the pythons were also there ?

A lot of them also came from people getting them as pets and then abandoning them when they got inconvenient.
