Honestly, I think that the state should be trying to make some money off from the Pythons. Pay a bounty for them then process the "pelt" and meat for use by consumers. I know I would purchase Burm meat. Fried snake is actually pretty good. And, the snake pelts can be used for a lot of different things, boots, belts, wallets, purses, ect. Then they should take all of the money raised from the snakes to invest in conservation of the everglades, up to and including removal of other ferral species and habitat management for endangered species.
