Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Everglades (Florida's extremely biodiverse wetland preserve that spans 1.5 million acres, or 1 million hectares). They were likely introduced to the ecosystem by careless pet owners, the SFWMD wrote. These snakes breed rapidly and pose a serious threat to the area's birds, rodents, deer and even alligators.

"The Everglades is a beautiful buffet for an apex predator like that," David Penning, a snake biologist at Missouri Southern State University, previously told Live Science. "Since the snakes have shown up and increased in number, we have seen a prominent drop in basically every animal that can be consumed by those snakes."

Thus, the state wants the serpents dead. Hunters like Penniston are paid $8.25 an hour to prowl the wetlands in the SFWMD's jurisdiction, earning on-the-spot bonuses that rise with the size of any snakes they fell. Pythons up to 4 feet long (1.2 m) net hunters $50, with every additional foot earning an extra $25. Penniston's near-18-foot quarry earned him a bonus of $375.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Nerd believes a majority of it started after Hurricane Andrew destroyed 25K houses, while damaging another 100K houses. I wish they'd eat the iguanas. These fuckers are growing by the day, it seems. There's thousands in my neighborhood. The poop in my pool about twice/week.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

Can't you just eat the iguanas yourself?

I wish I was in Tijuana
eating barbequed iguana
Edit- Just opened Nuke's link. Eating pest species always seems like the best thing to do. We need to eat more muntjak deer around here. They breed like rabbits.
