I just wonder why this has to be necessary to enact such a ban.
Because people are idiots! Instead of a guy going out and shooting the snakes when he finds them, he has to call in a task force of trained snake handlers to capture it and take it back to an approved Burmese Python Execution Facility, where a bunch of vegetarians weigh the benefits of killing it or letting it go to procreate.

Fla. right now, and the State has hired killer teams to deal with it. Of course, it is being done to Gov't specs, so there is more paperwork than snake-killin' going on.

Anyway if you want to see a fuss made at an airport, arrive in NZ with a snake. The snake will be in a methyl bromide box before you can blink, and you will end up in jail, unless they stick you in the fumigator with the snake. Ian
