Burmese python news.

[Woodznutz]

Government agencies, tasked with solving environmental problems have opted to apply their most effective technique to the Burmese python which is raising havoc in south Florida. Taking a lesson from the agencies responsible for the ecological problems in Wisconsin's lake Mendota, notably the Wisconsin DNR, the University of WI Limnology Dept, and various city and county land and water agencies they have decide that more study is needed. In the words of one familiar with Lake Mendota's troubled history "they are going to study the lake to death".

Under the auspices of the USGS those tasked with the snake issue have determined that the best approach is to study the Burmese python to death as well. The following article confirms this approach.

The Florida everglades will eventually have nothing but pythons. The females lay 50 to 100 eggs a year. Stop studying and start killing pythons and smashing their eggs.

I'm afraid that arrow isn't in their quiver.

LOL....Trump's agency head should just round-up anyone responsible for deciding to do a "study", fire them all, and hire snake hunters and put a bounty on the snakes.

Looks like there are simply not enough hunters.....I'd not trapeze about the Everglades either for $8.25 an hour.....The Mosquito repellent needed plus food/fuel would negate that.

The gloves need to come off. Kill them anyway you can, pay rewards per Python and PER EGG.

What we need is to introduce an aggressive 30 foot crocodile while prefers nothing but eating pythons and their eggs!

Serious, we see once again: Burmese pythons, lion fish, killer bees, in every case, the importation of a species that never should have been allowed. One mistake, one flood, etc., a cage is broken, washed away, an unwanted pet thrown down the drain and now you have an out-of-control ecological disaster.

It's become a sport and a tourist attraction. Florida isn't going to let a snake crisis go to waste before they milk it for all it's worth.

The Python hunt is fine but they barely make a dent in the problem. Florida needs a 24/7 campaign to get rid of the them and their eggs.

We have to reintroduce many species as it is, once we get rid of the snakes. When we drain or poison a lake to rid it of unwanted species we reintroduce the good species.

We can tailor programs that target the snakes, however there will be some collateral damage.
