Florida has a python problem. Since 2000, more than 23,000 Burmese pythons have been removed from the state — and that’s just a fraction of what’s out there. At our recent WINK Listens event, John Gilbride told us he believes the annual hunt doesn’t go far enough. His idea? Year-round bounties for snakes and even their eggs to protect native species in the Everglades and beyond. Do you think more should be done to control the python invasion? 🐊🌿 #FloridaWildlife #Everglades #BurmesePythons #WI
