Killing Pythons, and Regulating Them (Fla) EW!

Florida officials are stepping up efforts to deal with the python population in the Everglades, measures that include a special hunting season that begins on state lands on Monday. But wildlife officials say that the big snakes, which prey on a number of threatened and endangered species from wading birds to wood rats, have reproduced faster than hunters can kill them.
Ken Salazar, the Interior secretary, recently announced efforts to ban the import or interstate transport of nine non-native snakes: four types of pythons, including the Burmese python, as well as boa constrictors and four kinds of anacondas.
What should be done to control the pythons’ spread, both in Everglades National Park and other Florida wild areas? What is the most effective way to kill them?
OF course, it has to be about my FAV....ssssnakes
This really is a problem in Fla. My sister said the snakes are now coming inland and preying on pets and nesting in yards. A real snake epidemic..(the reason I WILL NOT go).

These non-native species, be it zebra mussels, snakes, fish or whatever are problems because they don't have someone hunting them for lunch! Those big snakes come inland there will be more than pets in danger. Hunting them is a valid solution.

I recently watched a Nature show on this problem. They've got pythons big enough to eat alligators! They are definitely on top of the food chain down there.
