We need python eaters here in Florida.

But we don't need a python farm, because sooner or later a pregnant female will escape.

We tried making Lionfish (another invasive) a delicacy (and they are good), but they can't be commercially harvested. They hide in the already threatened reefs.

I suspect python on your plate would suffer the same fate. Trudging through the Everglades looking for the snakes that camouflage themselves so well is labor-intensive. To make a profit, you would have to charge exorbitant prices for the tube snake steak.

Sadly, we didn't ban the exotic pet trade here in Florida in the 1950s. I grew up going to the glades. In ponds where I used to see thousands of wading birds (no exaggeration) you are now lucky to see six. Between land development, sugar farming pollution, and pythons, boas, iguanas, and dozens of other escaped or released pets, the wildlife of my youth is mostly gone.
