The ONLY WAY to get rid of the pythons.

[Woodznutz]

1. Determine that these pythons, that slowly break every bone in their victim's body while choking the life out of them, are not deserving of "humane kill". If this is not done all efforts at eradication will fail.

2. Implant or attach to their prey species, notably rats and rabbit's native to the region, small explosive devices programmed to detonate if motion is not detected for a period of time, or specific poisons that will kill the snakes.

These booby-trapped prey animals can be released in areas where hunting them is impossible or impractical.

There should be a full court press to eradicate pythons. Don't bother catching them, hack their heads off with a machete. Also more focus on finding and destroying egg nests. They lay 40 and 50 at a time. Train animals to sniff them out.

Sadly FL has allowed hunting them to be monetized.

Everglades Python Hunts | Gladesboys Guided Tours

All pythons are humanely euthanized at the end of the tour. If at the end of the night you or your party would like to keep a python there will be an additional $250 fee. Any other pythons will be used for conservation and business promotion by the Glades Boys.​

Sort of like the TX "hog problem".
