Thank you sooo much guys for doing what you do. As a native Floridian and Broward county resident I love that your out there working to save our Everglades

[@Mike44460]

The "do gooders" want to save the planet, yet they will let the ecosystem be turned upside down by an invasive species. Quit worrying about the feelings of these monsters. Pay a bounty, let anyone with the balls that wants to go after them go, two or three holes from a small diameter projectile, and move on. Next, it's like Mrs. Gump is in control.

[@DHU11]

They’re reproducing way faster than they’re being killed. So it’s kind of a losing battle. Needs to be a more efficient method than a handful privately licensed humans hunting these things and catching a couple a day.

The second one was coming out of a tortoise burrow & it had to be over 5", it was very calm & I continued on my way. I was a bit scared I guess from what other people say about them but there was no aggression from this animal. I may add that these snakes were very beautiful. I understand they can be deadly when encountering peoples pets. I have a dog and a horse so I am a animal owner. Thank you so much for helping to eradicate the invasive species.
