But one clutch of eggs will replace the pythons you kill and then some.

A neutered python puts predation pressure on the rest. Creates crowding.

[psalzzz]

We need to relieve the pressure. Pythons in the everglades have ate 90% of the mammals in the 'glades. The bigger they grow, the more they consume. While they may also eat a few other pythons, it's not a common occurrence.

If only we could make a virus or alter their DNA to wipe them out ;-)
