Has any progress beeh made in this fight, or has the snake population continued to explode in spite of these efforts? Reminds me of the feral pig problem.

I have a biologist friend that gave me the lowdown and I confirmed the lowdown that he gave me by going up and looking at a couple of websites concerning the Florida python invasive population.
A female Burmese python can carry sperm for 10 years and lay fertile eggs for 10 years. In 75 years Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana will be populated by Burmese pythons.

No, it’s September in the Florida everglades, just like it is where I live.

In 75 years Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana will be populated by Burmese pythons.They'll call them "food." As General Joe Wheeler said in The Rough Riders, "Gimme some more o' that there serpent, son."

Florida is on metric time so it’s April there, just like it is in Britain.

Oh, I see. Are they seven years behind, too, like Ethiopia?

Luckily, pythons don’t like freezing temps.
I was told at the Everglades Visitor’s Center by a government “wildlife expert” that pythons will never successfully live north of Orlando.
I hope that is true.

Why didn’t they just shoot the thing?

---while I agree that the python shouldn't be here , I suspect to predictions of complete takeover are a bit much--
-seems to me I recall that about 40 years ago we were warned that the red ant was going to destroy North American agriculture , after that Kudzu was going to make the south uninhabitable , then killer bees were going to take over, etc., etc.,---

They’ll call them “food” in Louisiana. In the other states, they’ll be called “belts” and “wallets” and maybe “boots”.

Nah...the ‘nature lovers’ who first brought and released Pythons into the wild there, are the same ones who would scream themselves red in the face it you even mentioned killing the things.
Funny how that works out

Pythons would make nice high-end boots and belts.

They'll call them "food." Probably so. Python Sauce Piquant.

Good point! Which of your sons is in the Marines? My Elen is at Parris Island right now ... or she was until they evacuated. The local news said they’re going somewhere in inland Georgia.

Unwarranted panic is a recurring phenomenon. Even in the Everglades, the extent of python infestation is disputed.
