How is it that man can wipe out entire species yet this invasive species is reeking havoc in the Everglades. Why is there no bounty on this pest. Offer a $100 a snake and I bet lots of hunters and like will get the job done.

[thackney]

Publish some recipes in Louisiana and charge $100 for the out-of-state hunting licenses.

I think they tried open season on the things and it turned out a disaster as far as snake count. Buggers are very difficult to find when they don’t want to be.

If I didn’t think they’d get my dog, I’d sure like to use one in my backyard. Friggin’ rabbits act like they paid for the sod. Of course I don’t think the pythons would like the climate here. Guess they’ll have to adapt. :>}

[RoadGumby]

It wouldn’t take $100.

Declare the large snakes invasive, a ‘varmint’. $5 per head, you can keep the hide and the meat.

Problem would decrease markedly.

Pythons wipe out rabbits

I thought it was the other way around.

Pythons: making the Everglades safe for Jimmy Carter to visit.

If a rabbit can't outrun a snake he deserves to be dinner. Process of natural selection you know.

[SampleMan]

Solution: Genetically engineer a new breed of slow raccoon, with an integral half pound of C4 that detonates when it comes into contact with a Python stomach acid.

[skinkinthegrass]

just make sure they're Burmese pyhtons..not others species..

google rainbow snakes.

[plain talk]

Not an easy task to control pythons. The only way to really eradicate them is wipe out all the creatures in an area en masse and start over.

[blueunicorn6]

So, all the people who bought snakes so they could watch the snakes eat small animals and then got tired of taking care of the snakes and turned them loose in the swamps might have caused a problem? Gosh. Who could have seen that coming?

[IMR 4350]

Open a restaurant in NY that only serves python.

Put an extremely high price on each dish.

Use only prairie fairies as waiters. The swishier and rude the better.

Hire another prairie fairy food critic to proclaim it’s just fabulous.

Pretty soon every left wing freak show will be lining up just to eat there because if you don’t you’re a homophobe.

Repeat only using all black staff and proclaim if you don’t eat there you’re a racist.

Pretty soon no more snake problem.

There Won't Be Another Public Python Hunt In The Florida Everglades

[Mastador1]

Breed rabbits with genetic poison that is python specific and let em go, then in a few years we will have a problem of too many rabbits and not enough predators, so we will introduce pythons.......................

[jimmygrace]

Meanwhile, nutria are an invasive species in the Bayou. I see a 2-state solution here...

[longfellow]

Don’t worry global cooling warming climate change will get them.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Pythons wipe out rabbits? Pythons? Rabbits? That is so crazy there is nothing left to do but Batdance.

[Baynative]

Make Python skin handbags, headbands and other accessories the new rage in Hollywood and they'll be gone over night.

BTW - how did the invasion begin - was it a do-gooder project like introducing wolves and bears to forest lands in populated areas?

[Safetgiver]

They need to offer a bounty on pythons, iguanas and a dozen other invasive species they allowed people to let loose. The snakehead fish is NEVER let loose when caught (but if you know 4 star Chinese Chef, he will cook up a heck of a supper for you).
