Are these pythons edible (I mean “tasty” edible)?
To: DUMBGRUNT
Oops. Never mind. I just read this:
discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury. It's just when I saw that snake stretched out, I saw a lot of filet mignons side-by-side.
To: RoosterRedux
I am sure they taste like chicken.

“Tastes like chicken” Cody Lundin
I’ve had gator, rattlesnake and frog legs, they all taste like chicken. Maybe it’s a reptilian feature. But the article does also point out that these Florida pythons are high in mercury which I did not know and probably will not indulge, and probably will never have the opportunity to indulge either.

I think the humane thing to do is capture as many of these pythons as possible, then release them unharmed along the border between Texas and Mexico. A similar program should be implemented for alligators.

Why? I beleive the bounty is for the snakes dead or alive if im not mistaken? Don’t understand why the snake hunters risk anything by capturing them alive in many cases.

And yes, I know the article says these two kill their snakes- but some hunters don’t.

A friend of my dads had one, a big one. It got out of it’s enclosure, not cage, full room. Curled up with him while he was napping and squeezed him to death.

Mercury content is the issue eith eating them. They likely taste pretty good.

Authorities encourage people around the world to buy python leather from Florida, and discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury. Used to be you could make thermometers out of them.

US snake hunters fight pythons big enough to devour gators The obvious way to fight them is to get Chinese genetic engineers start making bigger aligators instead of viruses.
and discourage hunters from eating them due to their high levels of mercury.
Am I the only one who now needs a giant python thermometer?

I’ve never thought much about python anatomy ...
But suspect three would be many, many rib eyes and not many filet mignons???
