      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.

      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.

    Easily your finest episode ever! Not knocking the others but this one was wild and exciting as well as educational with a great outcome (not for three invasives but as Chris correctly points out, their destructive force to native wildlife is rivaled only by human habitat destruction in my old home state)! Amazing how quickly all three (seemed to) tire out and settle down so quickly. I would have definitely crashed and burned upon getting back to the car but what stamina or at least adrenalin from that initial capture! Very well filmed and produced video, gang!! Jim C.

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.

    Thank you so much for doing this. I’m assuming you cull them as soon as you find them as they look dead especially the female when you are carrying her. What do you use to euthanise them? Or at least you must drug them as they are not behaving like alive snakes.

    Do you give the pythons to people like Tyler or Chandler so they can feed their King Cobras? That way the snake doesn’t go to waste.
    Welcome to the 16 footer club! Good thing she was so cold 🥶 she would have been a real pistol on a regular Florida day.

    The Blog is absolutely fantastic! This Tampa native/resident appreciates all the work you do. Thank you!
    Two questions:
    As seen in this video-----ruclips.net/video/R-duTqrqh5M-/видео.html-- biologists use males to seek out the large females by placing tracking devices inside them.
    1) How do you know if you are removing these tracker males? Are they marked?
    2) Is there any validity to a proposition to introduce/reintroduce Jaguars as they have been known to consume Anaconda in South America?

    • @FloridasWildest
      @FloridasWildest  Год назад +7

      Thank you! The snakes with trackers are marked so they’re not removed. As for jaguars, that wouldn’t work for many reasons, and I think they would have much more fun eating deer here than the extremely hard to find pythons.

  • @Xenoyer

    I have watched a few of your videos. I like that you are getting rid of those animals that don't belong there. I was born on the N.E. coast of Florida in the late 1950s and I grew up there. My brother, cousins, and neighborhood kids used to spend all day in the woods catching snapping turtles, rattlesnakes, armadillos, and a lot of other animals. Grandma didn't mind because often what we caught ended up on the dinner table.
    That was a long time ago. I moved away from Florida and haven't been back for over 30 years. I have a notion about my home state and I would like it confirmed, or dispelled! I have the idea that Florida is in ruins. It has changed in a lot of bad ways since I was a boy. Back then, rattlesnakes were dangerous enough, but 16-foot pythons would cause me to forbid a child from doing the things we did. We knew the habits of the native snakes, but those pythons are a different story. At least take a shotgun along. It's going to die anyway.
    That is the tip of the rotten iceberg of ruination, as far as I can tell. There seem to be a lot of invasive species, both animal and human, messing the place up. Red tide sounds like something I would avoid. All that stinking rot doesn't sound, or smell, like a good time to me. I've been seeing some stories about homeowners insurance prices going through the roof and insurers fleeing the state. Honestly, I have a bad feeling about the place of my birth, and that sucks.
    I used to be proud of the fact I was born there and hit the beach every day. Not anymore! I feel like I wouldn't want to live there again for love or money. Make me believe I am wrong. I don't mind being wrong as long as I can learn the truth. What is the truth?

    Great work fellas!
    Is it normal that such a large python (16 feet and 115 Lbs) would be so docile as you grab it and carry it out of the swamp? I was utterly amazed that she didn't seem to put up any struggle. The size of her head was scary big! I will check your blog for the answer but I will ask a question here anyway...I assume you take captured snakes to ranger station in Everglades park where they are measured, weighed and then killed. How are the snakes killed? Does State of Florida pay you for catching them?
