They are a non native species. Should be legal to hunt at any time free of charge and no licenses or permits. In my opinion...

Agreed. It kind of makes me wish I was closer to the Glades to hunt them. I'd like to have a nice pair of boots from them also.

From my understanding we are supposed to whack them in the glades if spotted. A buddy of mine said he saw 2 of them at Southern Glades wma a few weeks ago while scouting. I'm gonna take the new electric bike out there in the next few weeks and check it out.

Here is a little info.

http://myfwc.com/license/wildlife/nonnative-species/python-permit-program/

Permit Requirements:

Photograph and mark GPS locations of captured snakes
Photograph and describe stomach contents of euthanized snakes
File reports with the FWC within 36 hours of capture

FWC ought to place a bounty on them big ol' snakes and establish a Python Hunting Season season that would not interfere with any regular hunting seasons to avoid conflict between the snake hunters and the deer, turkey and hog hunters. It would give some folks an extra income and get rid of a few pythons. Treefarmer
