Reminded me of eating a turkey neck. I certainly won’t go out of my way to have it again. A chicken thigh tastes like chicken too. I’ll stick to them.
The ultimate weapon against these invasive species is cookbooks. Distribute them free in low income areas. Include pythons, boa constrictors, iguana, all the invasive species in the state/area in question. Sell these cookbooks to high end places for cooking implements.
It’s probably pretty good.. I’ve eaten rattlesnake and snapper turtle and snapper is, in my opinion, some of the best there is..
Red Lobster restaurants in Japan serve alligator, prepared like nuggets.
“We have one of the worst mercury problems in the world in the Everglades and South Florida.”
Your going to love this. The mercury is deposited from unique global weather patterns from coal burning in China.
Probably a LOT safer that way, In my years in the field I didn't really eat anything that I didn't bring with me.
Of course, we were pretty hungry at the time...

They had to work COVID in there, didn’t they.
How it can be an issue when you are outside is beyond me.
Gator Tail nuggets are everywhere in FL. Many local restaurants sell it. Lightly battered and deep fried. Good eating.
I’ve had rattler chilli, thought it just fine. I’d definitely eat python.
How the heck does mercury get in the air? We don’t burn coal in FL.
See post #25
It comes from China. A study years ago looked into why Florida fish have high Hg. A unique global weather pattern deposits right on you.
Great. Just frkin great.
I really, really, REALLY hate communists.
Florida is a subtropical 'island' that was cleansed was f its tropical flora and fauna by the last glacial maximum and so it has many open ecological niches for introduced tropical species to thrive in.
When the current ice age kicks back into gear in about 15,000 years Florida will finally be free of the burmese python.
Ever been to the Okene Rattlesnake Hunt in Oklahoma? Sounds like you might enjoy it.
I don’t know how a python would get mercury in the Everglades. I’d like to see them get lead poisoning.
China now burns more than half of all coal worldwide. Together with India it is like 2/3.
China actually uses more coal now that the whole world consumed at 1990.
Troy Landry and the rest of his crew are on it!
Excellent idea!
They seemed to have a lot of luck catching big ones which the payoff bounty was around $300 or more.....
Bounty wouldn’t work - folks would start raising them domestically to turn in for the bounty...
