But give the permit holders credit. They’re not even allowed to use firearms or traps. They can capture the snake with nets and snares and must kill the snakes with a blunt or sharp hand-held device.

sounds about like the govt. doesn't it ?

The only way to eradicate pythons is to declare all out war. Send in hundreds of men with machine guns, flame throwers and RPGs. Right now they are just wasting money

The biggest joke is that these are highly educated adults earning high salaries with huge benefits and wonderful pensions.

We might as well take all that money and flush it right down the toilet, for all the good it’s doing anybody in Florida.

How about "python on a stick"?

We're gonna need a bigger stick.

Declare open-season on them with a bounty of $20 a head. Advertise this in South Georgia and Louisiana. Them good ol’ boys will each take a two-week vacation to South Florida and eradicate the problem in no time.

Send them into the python lairs with bazookas and dynamite and blow them up to kingdom come

I propose we send Jeff Corwin down there to personally trap all the snakes.

We have to let the market solve this problem. Someone will develop Python Cowboy Boots at $500.00 per pair; or Python Hand Bags for the Ladies at $350.00; or Python steaks at $18.50. (A real delicacy for sure). Let the creativity of the market solve this. Soon it will be so profitable we will have Python breeding farms in South Florida. Come on.....use your head!

When I was in Vietnam, someone shot a 21 ft long boa of some kind and we had a barbeque with the darn thing. That snake was delicious. If they want to get rid of the snakes, they need to relax the rules of engagement, allow guns and post a few recipes.

Tie a rope around your waist. Get a stick with a white flag on it. Crawl under your house and wave the flag in the pythons face. When the python bites the flag scream until somebody grabs the rope and drags you and the snake out....
