Burn the whole everglades. Burn it out. Let the habitat start over. Don't bring pythons again

Here’s an in-depth video showing the potential for the python’s range in the southeast. It could be far smaller than what some are predicting.

As far as I know, we don’t have Pythons in the Keys. They’re pretty much all in the Everglades. Each island has a bit different variety of small mammals. There aren’t Key Deer in Key West, but KW does have raccoons, rabbits, tree rats, and opossums.

Florida's ecosystem destruction from 100 years ago to today is honestly pretty shocking

This is accurate. I have seen key deer as far down as Boca Chica but rare.

The python is quickly becoming a real issue in the Glades however. If they allow actual hunting and killing of them they might slow down the invasion.

They have a week long hunting contest where lots of them are caught but they lay something like 200 eggs at a time.

Exactly.
Man/development has destroyed the Everglades much worse than the pythons have.

Some testing using captured pythons to determine dosage of Tylenol needed would be in order. Guam could be of assistance on this since they have been using carrion bait with Tylenol to repress their brown tree snake problem. Pythons aren't carrion eaters though, they hunt live prey.


Now that’s some IQ shite. Legend.

Got a brain tingle. What if we boxed them all up and moved the pythons to Louisiana swamps?

They’d immediately kill themselves.

Who says we can't shoot them??? In fact, it's one of the approved methods of humanely dispatching them, before scrambling their brain with a flathead screwdriver.

This! Imagine wanting a snake as a pet inside your home. Disgusting.


Never understood either, just like those freaks who have tarantulas as pets. It’s a sign of a serial killer.

Florida legislators, most notably.

People that are into snakes are weird. There’s nothing cute or cuddly about any snake. Get around snake freaks and they talk baby talk to snakes like it’s a kitten or a puppy.



I dunno, I think it would be fun to share a beer or 5 with Jeff sometime. If nothing else, he will protect me.

Only one thing left to do: Time to bring in the militia.
