PYTHON HUNTING SEASON IN FLORIDA
Florida's special Python Hunting Season is underway. From 8 March 2010 until 17 April 2010, any person with a hunting license who pays for a $26.00 permit can take these alien reptiles on state lands around the Everglades in southern Florida. Last year, Florida officials decided to take a more aggressive stance against the invasive species, creating a Python Hunting Season and issuing broader permits to experts to kill as many as possible.The state has held workshops for those folks inexperienced with Pythons; the workshops focused on how to identify, stalk and capture these reptiles. In addition to the introduced and established Burmese Pythons, Northern African Pythons, and Nile Monitors, permit-holders can also take the as yet not-established Green Anacondas when encountered.
