Now now, this is an argument going on in another thread.
I am not entirely opposed to removing burms from the everglades, they are afterall an invasive species. I think necropsies of captured animals yield valuable information for biologists and ecologists, however in this case I really would have liked to see if the snake could pull through. It is not uncommon for hungry snakes to take on too big a meal and either die trying to swallow it or regurge (or be unable to fully regurge) later. I think the information about prey size from tagging and monitoring this snake could have been more valuable than necropsy results.
