Damn place is getting to be quite a dangerous zoo.

All we need is a bounty combined with a bunch of air boats, red necks
and shot guns and the whole problem will be solved in no time. The
park service never considers the obvious solutions. :-)

The whole thing could be organized like a bass tournament with a Le

cable TV. Behind every problem is an opportunity !


There are people in Water management who have the right answer but it
is not politically correct enough. There is an export market for the
intestines of a python. The Chinese are paying big bucks for them and
it has made these snakes extinct in a lot of their native range. They
could easily simply open up the hunt to people harvesting this
resource and really hurt the population. The fear is that the hunters
will be worse for the environment than the snakes


Sounds to me like a whole new industry free range anaconda, better than
the farm raised anaconda. You can create two markets
