I've read the article, and see that you have a serious problem at hand..

But:

"Schall and the other python hunters are at a distinct disadvantage in that they cannot kill the snakes outright, but must trap them -- by hand or whatever nonlethal means they can devise -- and deliver them to wildlife officials, who will euthanize them by injection.
"

That's just too stupid to be funny... you can't shoot 'em????

I wouldn't even touch such an animal... I'd be blasting away with my shotgun
