What do they taste like?

[dennisw]

YEEHAW baby. The killer elite of useless Florida pythons! 25 select snake hunters and a thousand non native pythons wasted.

Cook, but you can cool them if you want to.

[a fool in paradise]

How many pairs of boots is that?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Actually I think alligator tastes more like turtle or fish than it does chicken.

[[but he wanted to help save wildlife]]

By killing wildlife?

I agree the snakes gotta die0- but what a silly thing to say lol

[WayneS]

Good. Exterminate them.

Exterminate all the brutes.

None- snakes don’t wear boots

Cowboy boot prices expected to drop.

[BubbaBasher]

He is the program's most prolific hunter, capturing and killing more than 110 pythons over the past 15 months.

That's a little over 7 snakes a month and he's the most prolific. They will never get ahead of the problem at that rate.

I was just talking about this yesterday with my son. Eradicating an invasive species can be very difficult.

Tens of thousands of pythons are estimated to be slithering through the Everglades. Scientists say the giant constrictor snakes, which can grow over 20 feet long, have eliminated 99 percent of the native mammals in the Everglades, decimating food sources for native predators such as panthers and alligators.

JUST DAMN!

[RinaseaofDs]

It’s done with deer, elk, and moose populations all the time.

[lee martell]

That settles it! Florida needs to introduce some predator animal that will eat or kill the snakes. Only a few animals who are tough enough without being extremely large.

How about a Honey Badger, Mongoose, Bobcat, Raccoon, Golden Eagle, Falcon , Black Bear or Coyote?

[adorno]

PETA is gonna hate people hunting and killing that many pythons.

Solution?

If PETA doesn’t want the hunted and killed, then, they should be hunting them down themselves, and shipping them back to Asia.

Give PETA a a few months to get the job done, and any pythons left after that are fair game.
