Allow year round 24/7 hunting of pythons in the Everglades, pay bounties, develop a commercial export trade to nations where eating python meat is culturally normal, subsidize such exports and they will soon be all gone... and as supplies deplete, successively increase bounties until even the pet owners can't resist.

AND/OR, Pay bounties, have celebrity chefs create "popular" new python dishes and fashion designers create new fashion trends, ban farming pythons AND allow year round 24/7 python hunting in the Everglades and they will soon be all gone.

AND/OR, have an organization such as DARPA fund development of hunter-killer drones to methodically grid search areas.

This is the nuke’em from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure, version. Of getting rid of these Everglades pests. Once and for all. There are some videos of Everglades pythons vs Everglades ‘gators. Both brainless critters defending their turf. Kinda like, these days, Russia vs Ukraine

They’re unfit to eat, and damn hard to find in the Everglades.
