what are some of the actions being taken to rid florida of burmese pyhons and other non-native species. maybe if there was a sure fire way to get rid of them they would lay off us a bit! pipe dream im sure but! couldent hurt none either! regards

This really isn't about Burms in the Florida "ENP".

Its about the money that can be gained by promoting
this agenda.

This is about a few entities promoting their personal agenda's
using scare tactics , pseudo-science , and
exaggerated numbers to reach those goals.

Personally I believe Burmese Pythons in the "ENP" are
causing very little damage at all.

Some people want the money (Nelson & sml group of scientists for "ENP" restoration) and
some other people (HSUS) want to take animals out of everyone's hands

I did a search on him. He is a FWS worker. Probably the one that is capturing the most Burms at the moment along side Bob Hill. I'm prety certain that they are Euthanizeing all of the ones they catch now. They do a stomach cavity inspection on some of the ones they euthanize. I remember readinbg in one of the posts that many of them are coming in with empty intestonal tracks while some have apparently turned up with endangered and non endangered animals. There was a list one one of the pages with the stomach contents from about 30 snakes.

I also like this one, it looks like the python catching was staged:
