the Florida python problem

Pythons are ambush hunters in general. They like live food.
I think the only way to decimate their population is to bait them with thousands of mice, rats and rabbits with Tylenol collars. Tylenol is a strong poison for snakes.

Those bastards will be all over S. Louisiana before long.

Gen X, this one’s probably our fault.

Just get Garrett to go yoink them all

I love this topic for some reason. I have no clue what they should do about the problem but it sounds like a really bad scenario.

This and the wild hog problem are fascinating. We could solve world hunger killing and cooking these things.

We’ve know the solution since season 4.

There doesn’t seem to be a solution. The area is so dense, remote, marsh and swampland. You can bait and trap and poison but they breed like rabbits and you can’t get them all.
Maybe create a species-targeted virus but what could possibly go wrong there?

Seems cruel to the other animals. Let's just get some baws, pay them well, and tell them it's a free for all.

There's another, more fun way. Catch all the possums and raccoons you can find. Fit them with GPS collars. Plot their daily/nightly coordinates. They will lead you to python nests where they are preying on the eggs. Destroy the nests and eggs that remain. Continue hunting and killing snakes in the meantime.
This is actually being done, though I don't know to what scale.

It’s actually caused by Hurricane Andrew I think. They can clearly live in South Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana and will hear soon enough.

That'd end up killing a bunch of native species as well, considering pythons aren't the only animals that eat mice.

That would kill the native snakes too. Not a great idea.
That may be where we are with the Everglades but not in Louisiana. It gets too cold during the winter for these things to survive here. And they are too large for most of the natural shelters that are around.

Opportunity. Catch and release near TX border crossing areas

Just like with Nutria, the politicians and morons at the state and federal agencies need to turn people loose to hunt them and give a bounty on them. The policies are so restrictive its not worth the trouble.

I pointed out in another thread on this subject that although rare, there are occasions when there are prolonged periods in South Florida of temperatures in the low 30s. In 2010 or 2011 it got cold enough for long enough for the shallow water temperatures in the Everglades to drop to a point where millions fish actually died. (Gators stuffed themselves on dead fish.) It’ll take something similar and colder and for longer to do in most of the pythons. But, it’ll happen. Might be years from now.
