I listened to this one morming on Coast to Coast radio and was amazed. These snakes will take out most of the protected species that are going extinct. Except for maybe an alligator, they have no enemies.

The locals will put them on the menu and the problem will quite literally disappear overnight.

Burmese pythons are the secondn largest species of pythons in the world if memory serves. This just confirms my doubts of camping in south Georgia this summer.

This kid loves his python. His parents say the snake is the child's guardian. I really hope the little guy doesn't come up missing.

How about some smoked python with that beer?
They're edible. Hunt 'em, cook 'em and sell 'em.

fwiw, to paraphrase a character from "THE PATRIOT", snake's a good meal.
the Thai's, Vietnamese, Burmese & lots of other Asians cook them in numerous TASTY ways.
snake tastes a lot like catfish & since it's round, it LOOKS like catfish, too.
btw, a python "dresses out" at about 70% of live weight. = CHEAP PROTEIN!

Just declare it’s open season on them. Offer a reward, say 10 or 20 bucks a linear foot, enough for someone to make a living at it. According to envirowhackos, mankind — especially drunken, gun-totin’ rednecks — can wipe out any species almost overnight. That’s why so many of them need protection. So... offer a reward on pythons. Let’s see if it’s true.

I saw one of these monsters coiled up once and I thought I was looking at a bean bag chair. It took me a second or 2 before I realized that I was looking at a snake.

Time for a Python tournament hunt. State needs to set up a bounty. Make it based upon length and poundage. Guy who officially harvests the most in one season get $10,000.

This just confirms my doubts of camping in south Georgia this summerI'd worry more about the mosquitos and ticks. Florida South of Lake Okechobee has a tropical climate. Nuisance species generally don't far well North of the Lake where temperatures can dip well below freezing during Winter.
