Field biologists discovered an 18-foot invasive Burmese python weighing 215 pounds in the Florida Everglades.
Researchers from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida believed their scale was broken when they weighed the beast, as none of them could comprehend a Burmese python would ever grow so huge, National Geographic reported Tuesday. The snake, the largest ever discovered in Florida, was captured using a male scout snake with a GPS tracker attached to it, the outlet continued. Burmese pythons are effectively impossible to spot without scout snakes, according to BroBible. (Tweet/Photo)

Declare Open Season and pay by hunters by the pound for these beasts from hell. Return the land to our indigenous species!

IIRC, this all started when somebody either released a cargo of these into the Everglades or somebody's exotic pet got too big for the owner to handle. Exotic pets should not be legal in this country, especially things like pythons. These things need to be destroyed.

The apex predator was first introduced to Florida in the 1970s...
Implies that it was done with intent - ?

Not mind blowing or even surprising. Every small to medium sized mammal in Florida is on their menu, including pets.

#3, that has been in effect for years. They pay a bounty by the foot, and extra over a certain length. People trying, but the damned snakes are elusive as hell, the swamp is difficult to travel in, and ONE female can, like this one, have 122 eggs.
Damned difficult to wipe out these damned things.

Re #5. They were imported for pets, but when someone's pet snake got too big.....turn it loose. That is how they were released into the wilds.

Snakes grow big in Florida. But the DC variety is right up there.

Get this: And they have to be killed 'humanly'!! What a joke, just shoot them so you will not have to risk your life capturing them.

Another serious problem is that they breed with other types of snakes and become something else. It could become Jurassic Park in the Everglades. A few years back, one of them swallowed a fully grown alligator.

Poster 11, I agree. A 12 gauge blast with 00 shot is humane. The snake won’t know what hit him.

They left out the part about all of the 2020 Trump ballots they found in her gut.

It's time to get inventive.
If someone can come up with a commercially-viable use for these critters... either using the skin or the meat, or something.... so that others can make money hunting them, THAT will get enough people -motivated people- out hunting them, to control or reduce the population.
Heck, if they become valuable enough, there will be enough active hunters to wipe them out completely!
