I know a guy who has a permit to catch and sell python and other snakes.
He routinely drives downt he road to Flamingo and typically gets 1 or 2 pythons per trip. He's a muscular dude and has had some snakes in the 12-15 ft range drag him into the woods since he just won't let go.
My granmother spotted a 12 ft python in Fort Meyers a few years back and called the cops - she sure hated snakes. Especially ones that were longer than the road was wide! LOL!
We have so many exotics down here - the peacock bass and oscars have a thiving fishery, the brazilian pepper and paper trees are taking over everything - you've all seen the photo's of the snake that broke apart with the alligator in it.
The snakes are there. It just takes trained people to find them.
