I'm pretty sure in Burma they refer to them as chicken of the swamp.

I've always thought if terrorists really wanted to wreak havoc in America the should just release hundreds of the seriously badass vipers and mambas into the everglades.

It is, indeed sad that these reptiles are "dumped" off in the Everglades so the best solution is to build a wall around the 'glades. Don't let anyone in (or out).
I disagree. I think a better solution would be to drain the swamp
...or just let the bad ones come to your shack/apartment and mess with you and your family then disappear before the po po arrive and then you'll appreciate what someone in this country is trying to do...versus others who said the same thing but didn't act on it because of votes.

Let the gun nuts go out there and kill them. No limit.
Tried that. In fact, they pay a bounty for people to kill them. Hasn't made a dent in the problem.

Why did it have to be snakes.
These guys would cause real terror in the Everglades.

You call that a snake?

You're not from Australia. Antipodeans call them snikes!

Take your lame responses back to Reddit
DeSantis wants to scale up the hunts, yet to this point they have caught 500 of them in total during the past 20 years and there are 100,000 estimated, which does not seem promising. (Wikipedia says that 1330 have been captured and that more than 90,000 were smuggled into the country from 1996 to 2006). There is currently a barrier to their migrating north, namely, that they don't like the winters. The milder the winters, the further north they'll start getting. Nevertheless, they have been found in north central Florida and the Panhandle. They are actually deemed a vulnerable species and they are hunted in Asia for meat, their skin, and for leather goods. They brought in some Southeast Asian python hunters to instruct locals in Florida on how to find them.

At that rate, it would take them 4000 years to catch 100,000 snakes!
1. As someone said, if 90% of their prey is gone in barely a decade, this problem will self correct.
2. One really cold winter and they will all die.
3. The 100000 is a wild guess. No-one has any idea really.
Will the living ones fill out the census?

24 deaths in the last 60 years. "Always" hearing about them.

1. Well, if by self correct you mean leaving the ecosystem completely changed and having many species completely wiped out then yeah.
2. Their numbers may go through cycles but to think that "one really cold winter and they will all die" is profoundly ignorant.
3. Pretty sure that there are a few folks who study these things and that they do have some idea of the numbers. Frankly it's not all that difficult to get a reasonable estimate from a combination of field studies and the proper application of mathematics.
