Of course it's weak, but it's no weaker than what I've seen being used to make the argument the pythons have an overall HARMFUL effect. If those claiming there is a harmful effect can hand pick singular anecdotes (of stomach contents) as proof, then so can I to claim there is a beneficial effect. 
>>In over 200 FL pythons sampled we have only found 1 feral cat in their gut contents. Maybe they eat feral cats in the Redlands but it is a rare event in ENP. The argument that pythons may be beneficial is VERY weak.

>>To reply to the original poster... I wouldn't touch a burm in the park. The rangers know that it is an illegal activity (whether any of us like that or not) and they know to look for herpers.
