It's an invasive species that is destroying the local ecosystem, including the native reptiles. I don't like the idea of killing snakes either, but these need to be controlled or we're going to lose an entire ecosystem to them.Originally Posted by Bogertophis

Mixed feelings here...she doesn't belong in the Everglades, but I don't like the outcome either...
I think a lot of these animals are at least made use of. I know that smaller animals are sold frozen as feeders. Larger animals are skinned to be used in that trade over wild caught animals from their native area.
Good and bad, but overall I think this is more positive than negative.
