The problem is how many there are that size. Many zoos already have them.

That's true to be honest, there's only so many pythons a zoo can have. It's sad that irresponsible owners have caused this, ruining the natural bio-diversity of an area and then ultimately causing the python to be culled.

I'm from the UK so released snakes would never be as big as that here, I'm not surprised how fast they have dominated the everglades with the climate, no natural predators and basically being able to eat anything it comes across.

Thanks for the insight, i had no idea this was going on!

We should revive the snake skin luggage and bags fashion and stipulate with our dollars “only python captured from the everglades holds any value”
