Invasive snakes - working to save the Everglades ecosystem one snake at at time. SFWMD is now up to 1,971. That's nearly 2.5 miles of snakes.

District program now utilizing additional technologies to efficiently find and eliminate invasive Burmese pythons
SFWMD's python hunters have now eliminated 1,971 of the invasive snakes on District lands, stretching a combined length of almost 2.5 miles and collectively weighing more than 11.5 tons. ....
The invasive Burmese python, which breeds and multiplies quickly and has no natural predator in the Everglades ecosystem, has decimated native populations of wildlife.
