A Fair Trade

With Burmese pythons the Florida Everglades are overrun,
We’re killing some, but what do you do with a dead one?
Well, a guy in Fort Myers takes the dead snakes
And using every part of them, products he makes,
So he’ll trade you a free “specialty” pizza for a dead python.

More than 20 tons of Burmese python have now been pulled from the wilds of Southwest Florida by one of the region’s most enduring and effective science teams, reported the Palm Beach Post. In early June, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida announced it had removed more than 6,300 pounds of snakes during the most recent six-month season, pushing the program’s total haul past the 40,000-pound mark since its launch in 2013.
