Fla.'s efforts to eliminate introduced snake species

[whitehall]

In 2017 Florida initiated a bounty on introduced snakes and over 2,500 were captured so far (2019). Apparently you have to apply for a permit and somehow the state of Florida pays $8.65 per hour to the hunters. An additional bounty of $50.00 for snakes over 4 ft. long and $25.00 for each additional foot. An additional bounty of $200 for snakes guarding a nest of eggs. I have no idea of how they verify this but the biggest snake so far was around 17 ft. All in all it is a positive step in environmental efforts. It beats whining about global warming.

Florida may also allow python to be served in restaurants and at home:

Snake and eggs? Florida may want more python on menu

Officials would like to see more people put pythons on the menu — not because of their nutritional value but as another way to control the population

Spread a rumor that python meat is a natural aphrodisiac and the snakes will be wiped out in a few show years.

They regularly eat rattlesnake out west. Why not python meat?

There is now a TV show showing men stalking and catching the snakes.

Turn in your guns. Florida is full of Bolshevik lawyers.

I watched a dramatized account of Florida snake hunters wrestling live aggressive snakes into bags but the same guys make a living sneaking up on sleeping alligators and blasting them with firearms. Wouldn't it make sense to kill the snakes first?

Harmonica, IM2, and brokeloser will corner the market by themselves.

The same methods will work on the illegals slithering across our borders.
