BURMESE PYTHONS are an invasive species. This is not an all out hunt for snakes. Just the pythons. Now we just need a market for those fabulous skins of a legal nature. Not rattlers in Texas. Pythons in the Everglades.
Bit strong on the villification of this creature that's doing what comes naturally. They just are in the wrong place. Wonder what the meat tastes like?
If it tastes anything like rattlesnake it is like a cross between chicken and fish, the ribs are plentiful. Probably a lot more meat on a python.
But they must be eliminated. Escaped from roadside zoos etc during hurricanes. Beautiful creatures in the right setting. Love these wild creatures but not as an invasive species which will disrupt the eco system more than we as humans already have. This is our fault not the snakes, but it must be done & done humanely.
