Here are two criticisms of the article that jump out ---
"...intensive eradication efforts." I take issue with this statement it is subjective and a term of relevant comparison...comparison to what?
"...nearly 60 percent of 99 snakes spotted by his team of researchers were alive." Who's to say some snakes weren't counted more than once , thus falsely increasing total numbers of live snakes?
"On a tree island a mile from the Pahayokee boardwalk, Mike Rochford and two other team members discovered a 15-foot-plus female, one of the largest captured in the park, and three males entwined in a pulsing ``mating ball.'' The biological details are best left at, ``What happens in Pahayokee, stays in Pahayokee"."
--- This is in fact probably one of the most efficient and cost effective methods of control and eradication to use. Bait female Pythons are in fact currently being used for that purpose. Why then put such a sinister spin on what is in fact a viable remedy?
