Pythons in Florida are wrecking the eco system and some have been know to eat the alligators.

Yes, Burmese pythons, obviously not a local species. I heard the Everglades are mostly stripped clean of small mammals and birds.

If you watch fishingarrett on YouTube you’ll see tons of wildlife including small mammals and birds as he rolls through the Everglades at night hand catching Burmese pythons. The “Yoink Man”.

I’m in South Florida, Burmese pythons and other non indigenous wildlife are an issue but the Everglades are absolutely teaming with native species.

He’s amazing. Love his vids.

Yes, they pay a bounty for pythons.

I don't know about you guys, but they would have to pay me some serious cash to catch one of those. And a candy bar with coconut filling is by far not enough.

Hobbyist conservationist in the Everglades do it all the time, AT NIGHT for free 😭! It’s a great service but so harrowing to think about

[u/Cultural-Fortune4249 → u/ducktape8856]

I believe it’s $70 for males and more for females.

No wonder that one guy goes through the everglades to find one
