In the case of these eels they're counting 90% native species destruction already.
In the case of the pythons I seem to remember mention of some native species extinction, wouldn't it be better to go nuclear and eliminate all python prey and by extension the python?

If the Florida panther and white tail could be re introduced, if other at risk native fauna could be replaced, it seems reasonable to go scorched earth now and sterilize the bio.
No?

I'm happy to take my beating, go ahead.

I do know of a lake in California that northern Pike were illegally introduced to. At least twice state fish and game poisoned the lake to stop the spread of pike and it didn't work.

Poison won’t work on pythons as they only eat live prey they kill. I’ve had Burmese pythons as pets…..

That the only excuse I can think of for your above posts.

Florida is a really phucked up state for invasive species. They were lax too long and lots of bad critters got loose.

It's been a Red state - that's the problem too. They don't call it the Red Tide State for nothing.
