These snakes need to be killed the moment they're discovered.
Bored with pitbulls, black market venomous snakes have become the must-have accessories among south Florida drug dealers and those who admire them. Eventually, many of their owners quickly figure out that keeping these reptiles might not end well and so they let them loose. And in a comfortable climate free of natural predators, they're thriving.
Thanks Floritards!
Read about the ecological disaster that released pythons are having in the Everglades and other Florida wetlands. Always wondered why instead of killing feral cats, it would be better to neuter them, feed them python meat for a week and then release them in the Everglades. Not saying they would always win against mature pythons but cats are very canny hunters and would probably destroy a lot of python nests. Pythons have no natural enemies in North america.
