That would be too efficient, too inexpensive, and would not let politicians funnel money out to their buddies.

There are plenty of existing bounties on the pythons in FL.

It’s pissing into the wind though. The only way they’ll ever be eradicated is if it hits 30 degrees in Miami, and lasts for a few days.

That ain’t happening either.

...two wildlife officials raided an invasive python's nest in a South Florida swamp and successfully wrestled 19 wriggling hatchlings and their mother into a bag and out of the protected habitat. The next day, one of the officials captured a second breeding female — measuring an astounding 17.5 feet (5.3 meters) long — from the exact same spot.
They're squeezing out native species.
Rimshot!

There were a few pythons sold in South Florida as “exotic pets” in the 70s and 80s, but near zero in the wild. (In the Everglades as breeding pairs.)

But! The hurricane south of Miami wiped out out two pet stores in Homestead and released all of their pythons into one small area right at the edge of the Everglades. A perfect combination for unrestricted breeding at 12-15 new snakes per year per pair.

If it was Hurricane Andrew, that’s been 20 years that they’ve had to breed. Eewww.
