In my un incorporated neighborhood I can shoot as long as I don’t shoot at my neighbors. I have shot rattlesnakes, water moccasins, skunks, etc. I have talked to my deputy and he has no problem. Castle Doctrine applies to dangerous critters. My neighbor called when there was a skunk out in the middle of the day wanting it shot, often daylite skunks are rabid.
Someone spotted an 18’ python on his seawall across the lake and was shooting at it and the deputy talked to him. He missed because it was already in the water by the time he got his gun. Neighbor down the road had a 12” red tailed boa under her house, had a snake collector catch it.

I live in an unincorporated rural area also-it appears each county makes their own rules about shooting-dangerous critters are okay to shoot in any rural areas-coyotes and feral hogs in particular because of livestock-apparently that now applies to trespassing drones bothering goats, too...

I assume the boas, pythons etc are turned-loose pets-it is obviously warmer where you are-I don’t think those tropical snakes would not last past the 1st hard freeze here-Florida really has a plague of introduced tropical species snakes now, no thanks to the exotic pet trade and people that get tired of those pets...
