They sure are jumping through hoops to avoid doing something that would actually work like live bait.

Why not use all the rats thriving and proliferating in the garbage DR Horton neighborhoods that got tossed up in the last five years in Florida?

How many other countries have a state or a province that is being ecologically destroyed by exotic pets imported and bought by white trash?

Peta says they'll take the robot even if the pythons have eaten virtually all of rats, rabbits, foxes, possums, racoons and lots of other native wild life.

I suspect that the avoidance of going to poisoned live bait will remain in place until something really horrific happens like a python eating a child.

Burmese pythons, the primary invasive python species in Florida, grow rapidly, especially in their first few years. Hatchlings start at about 18-24 inches (46-61 cm) and can reach 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters) within their first year, with some growing even faster depending on food availability. Females generally grow larger than males, reaching up to 12-18 feet (3.7-5.5 meters) and 200+ pounds (90+ kg) by adulthood (around 3-5 years). Growth slows after maturity but continues throughout their 15-25 year lifespan. Abundant prey in Florida’s Everglades, like rodents and birds, fuels their rapid growth, contributing to their invasive impact.

Ridiculous

Somewhere there is a woman involved in the dumb decisions.

I guess bringing in the “king of the swamp” Troy Landry and his Cajun buddies to catch the Pythons isn’t enough! If Troy can’t do it, I don’t think they will ever be able to fully eradicate all the Pythons in South Florida.

Tylenol is poison to snakes, but it has little effect on mammals and birds.

The python round-ups could provide lots of test cases to get the dosage right.

My first thought when I saw what the story was.

You realize the robotic rabbits aren't being eaten, right?

They're just mounted in one place to mimic rabbits and draw out pythons, which are notoriously hard to find. A person watching the bait rabbit still ends up shooting the python

Why not real rabbits with lasers on their heads?
