    I read the title in the form of a question...like you were asking about news from the Everglades. Then this popped into my head:

    How about humans? Way over populated, causes way more damage than pythons and cats combined and most of them are just in the way.

    Since this competition includes a "most" category, that concerns me people could misidentify and take native snakes. For those of us who know, yes, there's a big difference between a python and what would be a native species. But are the people who will compete in this going to be as knowledgeable? Or are they going to be the general snake hating public?
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    I agree... I worry about the native species getting caught in the middle... but like wild boars in HI I don't see an issue with removing non native species.

    Re: Everglades news..

    What I would be most worried about is if people will try to kill and present captive burms? People do some outlandish things for money...
