The idiots that released those things should be imprisoned IMO. Now that pythons and monitor lizards are established down there we’ll probably never get rid of them unless southern Florida has extended deep freezes, highly unlikely.
And those things are moving north into other parts of Florida.
Imagine a few komodo dragons getting started down there....ooooooo(shudders)!
You know what, lets try the free market. Unlimited hunting of them. If you are super serious, pay 500 bucks a Python head. If you had to pay out on all 150,000 snakes. It’d only cost 187 million. Thats chump change today for the govt!
Find a snake every other day, and thats not a bad living.
“Now that pythons and monitor lizards are established down there we’ll probably never get rid of them unless southern Florida has extended deep freezes, highly unlikely.”
Create a new hunting season with extended bag limits. I’d imagine a 180 grain .30-06 HP to the head would be a good choice for such game. If that won’t do the trick, I never want to come across one.
