Great discussion. One more (minor) point is that while it might be politically incorrect to ask the question, why do so many conclude that there is a "problem" at all with the burms in the Everglades? We all know how junky the science is behind the python hysteria, yet at the same time a lot of us seem to believe there is an environmental problem. Maybe there is, but I've been following this issue for a while now, and I've not seen any real evidence (a couple hand-picked anecdotes is not evidence), mostly assumption that "non-native" = "invasive" = "injurious".
