That really is not the way adaption works. The adaption of an animal takes millions of years and in the case of invasive species, rarely results in a new and thriving ecosystem. The only thing that happens is everything is thrown out of balance. Floridas invasive snakes threaten everything, including other native snakes and reptiles, and in this case, nature will not be able to take care of itself because these snakes are not part of the ecosystem. Florida wildlife are not equipped with the adaptations to fend off 10 ft.+ pythons and boas, even the alligators are prey and they're very close to the top of the food chain over there.
It may seem cruel to cull an entire species but in this case, it is a necessary evil to preserve what's left of Florida's native flora and fauna.
