    They are excellent at pointing out the invasive plants, toads, etc in the area but have a blind spot for pythons.
  • What a great show , very informative, I'm from Australia and cane toads you can't stop even in the dry hot climate? ? ?

    How can anyone question if this invasive species is having a negative effect in Florida Locals reports mammals that were common for decades are now difficult to find. These snakes are living on something ? Not just rats. .

    As another guy said about these nature programs a while back.. American programs mostly show the hosts talking, while British programs actually show animals. Im expecting pyhtons in a show about pythons, not humans 95% of the time....
  • How old is this They know what is being consumed Bounties have increased

    From the USGS " Direct quote: "The most severe declines in native species have occurred in the remote southernmost regions of Everglades National Park, where pythons have been established the longest. In a 2012 study, populations of raccoons had dropped 99.3 percent, opossums 98.9 percent, and bobcats 87.5 percent since 1997. Marsh rabbits, cottontail rabbits, and foxes effectively disappeared. The mammals that have declined most significantly have been regularly found in the stomachs of Burmese Pythons removed from Everglades National Park and elsewhere in Florida. Raccoons and opossums often forage for food near the water’s edge, which is a habitat frequented by pythons in search of prey". More proof these guys are snake lovers pretending to be objective.

    Florida is going to have to accept at some point that Burmese pythons are established and aren’t going anywhere. It sucks because they aren’t supposed to be here, but the reality is they’re here to stay. Also, the state does ham it up a bit on the total amount of a problem they are.. but still, we want to avoid invasives if we can. Love these snakes. Been keeping all species of pythons my whole life, amazing animals and big puppy dogs when you raise them up right!

    Wut a shitshow🙌That cop is the officer Lahey version out of trailer park boysđŸ˜čhahahahha wtf “ not NatIve” .. wuts native? who decides?Dude says in one scene “non native plants are the most detrimental” Then in another scene says “the wild boars eat too many plants” hahhaha Rofd sheesh The pythons are NOT BAD, if the animal can survive there it absolutely deserves to live like anything else!!!!! What about all these damn cats and feral animals that people just adore, snakes are amazing and extremely intelligent animals, they deserve as much place as anything and they do not destroy habitats they sef regulate they are so bulky wen old and so fragile wen young they barely can survive as is if the habitat is sufficient they shud be left alone to prosper!!!!

    These aren’t snake hunters. One of them is only looking for the perfect colors to breed and sell for unique color mutations. I’ve only seen two shows, but these little snakes and iguanas they’re catching are nothing like what I’ve seen from those who are really taking them out.
