It would be hard to think of something more awesome than hunting pythons for the good of the community.

Why don’t they capture them and turn them loose where there are populations of “homeless”?

Some are 18” long.
I would die on the spot if I ever saw one.

Teach these rubes how to I.D. the pythons...and then how to dispatch them. Period.

Horrible problem. These are gorgeous snakes, I hate the idea of killing them. I also hate the idea of having them gobble up every other species in the Glades.
No good solutions.
I would very much like to see laws with huge teeth ban import of wild animals. They are God’s creatures, NOT “things” to sell.

Yep, FL should pay a bounty and encourage businesses to start making products using the skins that hunters could sell to them.

Some are 18” long.CORRECTION: They can be 18 feet long. Feet, not inches!

I was already corrected on that in an earlier post.
Stupid mistakes like that keep me humble.

My first thought as well. I’ll bet that $100/snake will develop some excellent snake hunters & trappers.
