How to be a Western conservationist:

A Burmese python nearly 18 feet long and weighing 215 pounds has been caught in the Everglades, and it sets a weight record for the troublesome invasive species in Florida, according to The Conservancy of Southwest Florida.

Western conservationists are the actual invasive species.

The non-profit conservancy announced the find June 22, and reports the female also carried a record number of eggs: 122 were developing in her abdomen.

Conservancy officials say the massive 215-pound snake was discovered using a program that captures male pythons, fits them with radio transmitters, and tracks their movements. These “scout snakes” then lead researchers to “large reproductive females” and their nests.

“The removal of female pythons plays a critical role in disrupting the breeding cycle of these apex predators that are wreaking havoc on the Everglades ecosystem and taking food sources from other native species,” Bartoszek said. “This is the wildlife issue of our time for southern Florida.”

The very fact that the pythons are easily caught by the Western conservationists shows it is the Western conservationists who are the actual apex predators.

The conservancy python program dates to 2013 and is credited with removing 1,000 pythons from 100 square miles of southwest Florida. Collectively, those pythons weighed more than 26,000 pounds, the conservancy says.

National Park Service officials report the first removal of a python in the Everglades came in 1979. It is believed the snakes were introduced through the exotic pet trade, either when the pets escaped or were freed by owners.

As the environmental threat has grown, Florida has established a program allowing for pythons can be “humanely killed,” FWC says.

Western conservationists deserve to be inhumanely killed. They also look like what we would expect:
