When they clear that land for that strip mall or housing division, guess what...no more habitat for the snakes = no more snakes.
Me owning Pythons has nothing to do with the US problem. But like you just stated they have wild in them from ancestors years ago. Im talking about taking a animal directly from the wild that was born and raised wild. They should remain there.

We cant go based off what other countries do, this is our native animals to protect and leave be.
