Are they edible?
Can you make a pair of boots out of the skins?
Seems like there should be a market for them.
“permit” “capture”
How about open season dead or alive no permit needed.
Florida authorities are idiots. They routinely complain about invasive species but let people otherwise own many exotic species. Guess what, dimwit officials: when these exotic species escape or more often are let loose by bored owners they breed like rabbits, and become a threat to the ecosystem.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Instead of complaining about being over-run by invasive species try banning their sale and ownership in the first instance.
Catch’em? why not kill’em?
Will they offer prizes to people who fail to catch a python? After all, we don’t want to hurt their feelings... :)
Put a $200 cash bounty on their heads, no limit and no permit / license required. Problem solved.

Roy: The mosquito's a clever little bastard. You can track him for days and days until you really get to know him like a friend. He knows you're there, and you know he's there. It's a game of wits. You hate him, then you respect him, then you kill him.
Hank: Well, I follow the moth in the helicopter to lure it away from the flowers, and then Roy comes along in the Lockheed Starfighter and attacks it with air-to-air missiles.
Roy: A lot of people have asked us why we don't use fly spray. Well, where's the sport in that?
Great idea! They should do this with other invasive species.
I hope, though, that there will be enough educational input for the snake hunters so that some yahoo doesn’t wind up harming native snakes.
