Despite having read a number of articles regarding concern over these snakes, I still don't know what -- if anything -- is being done to try to control them. It sounds as if some drastic eradication is needed. Are these things being hunted and killed or removed?
Roosters? Guineafowl? So are they attacking farm birds as well?
They must immediately allow unrestricted hunting and trapping of these snakes. I don't think there is any way now of eradicating them but it would reduce their population and save the lives of some native species. Is there some native American critter that likes to eat snakes? We don't need to import any more non-native animals, insects, plants or other that becomes another problem.

Funny that the two birds mentioned are themselves non-native to Florida??
Sounds like the makings of a jobs program to me: $25 per python.
Yah, bring in a Python to get your UI or Foodstamps. With 88 million citizens out of the workforce it shouldn't take long. Might help in getting more people to visit the Parks, also!
Currently, there are over 30 licensed Python Hunter & Trapper volunteers out searching and removing Burmese Pythons. There is no "bounty" for catching pythons, and pythons that were tested from the National Park had a high level of mercury which make them unsafe for human consumption.
