I really don't like snakes
An enormous mound of Burmese pythons entwined in a 7-foot-wide (2.1 meters) mating ball was recently found in Florida's Everglades after conservationists followed several tagged males that were out looking for sex.
The mating ball contained a 14-foot-long (4.2 m) female and five males, and two additional males were found close to the aggregation, Ian Bartoszek, a wildlife biologist and science coordinator at the conservation organization Conservancy of Southwest Florida, told Live Science in an email.

AMEN! BACK in the sixties, our CO had authorized several of us to the use of a jeep, & go into the OREGON mountain forest area, to fire our personal weapons, & I remember having the delight of shooting a timber RATTLER, scattering the snake all over, boy was that fun.

Kill them all and bust all the eggs wide open. This invasive species is killing wildlife in the Everglades.
