They could clean them out with a simple bounty system. Pay per pound and have open hunting.
They have already had some bounty hunts, but apparently the problem is that the snakes are hard to spot. One article I read (from February) said that in a month-long bounty hunt, only 50 snakes were caught. The total number is estimated at tens of thousands.
Of course, it doesn't sound like they were paying per pound. If they upped the price, maybe someone would come up with some better snake-locating technology.
I thought they already were doing a bounty on those beasties.
I saw one on a local mountain bike trail a few years ago. It was only maybe 5 feet but you could have knocked me over with a feather when I came around a turn and there the bright yellow monster was laying across the trail. Probably abandoned by the moron who owned it, like the dogs and cats you see out there.

Get the Swamp People on it!
Seriously, anyone who has one of these snakes is certifiably insane. I just don’t get it. At least with mean dogs, they have some love for their owners. But when was the last time you heard a python owner say, “I think I’ll go snuggle with my snake. He’s just so cuddly and full of love!!”
