  12. Hunting and removing these snakes are critical to the Everglades ecosystem. This is a lucrative skill he’s learned and so important as these pythons have no natural predators there.

  13. Why don't they sell them? There's plenty of snake people who would LOVE a 16' python. It's not the poor snakes' fault someone let it go! (I didn't watch the whole thing because I'm afraid they show the killing thereof.)

  14. Can’t they keep them in zoos? I know it’s Too many to keep but it’s human’s fault they’re breeding in Florida as an invasive species

  15. How much would you get paid for a snake of that size. I was considering going to the everglades and hunt snakes, but concerned about the pay. Would it be worth it?
