Do you know, is it too late to eradicate them? Is this just to control
their numbers?

They don't seem to have any natural enemies and the ecology of the
Everglades seems to suit them just fine. All of their snack foods are
protected species and available in large numbers.

Not only the Everglades. Climatically, the USGS has them able to live
from Maryland south, and all the way to California. The Burmese python
is relatively docile. The African rock python is not so docile. I
wonder if it's range is similar?
