I used to live in Florida, but it’s been awhile.
But, didn’t hunters used to hunt gators at night with guns in the glades (before gators became protected)?

I guess that might have been the case, but we are not talking about hunting gators, we are talking about pythons. I guess they can swim but are mostly terrestrial. Trying to hunt them down in the very thick vegetation is lots more difficult than shining out the eyes of a gator from a boat.

By the way, I’m not sure they are protected any more. Along the Tamiami trail the Everglades are on the south side and the Big Cypress Nature Preserve is on the north side. There are tons of alligators all along there in the canals and connecting streams. Part is grass marsh and part is heavy and I mean tropical heavy tree and shrub growth.

They take everything they have and then throw them to the gators.
