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.

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.

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.
