I have to agree with you Tom C that the Burmese pythons currently in the Everglades will never be completely exterminated regardless of the methods employed. I also agree that mankind has been far more damaging to the Everglades by trying to do Mother Natures job rather dismally. I also believe we'll see even more python deaths in the coming months. The ones that were able to find shelter soon enough and didn't immediately freeze to death will soon start showing symptoms and dying of respiratory infections.
The bottom line is there are many problems in the Everglades and the ban of pythons and boas nationwide doesn't make much sense given the whole picture. If the people in power were actually trying to solve the Burmese python problem in the Everglades, Florida's current ROC laws will certainly be effective if they would give it time to actually work. Actually, it seems the people associated with the python ban in the government and Florida Fish and Wildlife conveniently don't even remember they have the ROC law in place in Florida. Of course, I honestly believe cleaning up the Everglades is not really what this is all about and if it is, it's certainly a doomed, mis-guided step.
