How many conditional reptiles have been harvested as a result of the special season?
As of April 5, no harvested conditional reptiles have been reported by hunters to the FWC. Since many pythons died during January’s and February’s cold snap and because the WMAs have never been home to the largest python populations in the Everglades, this is to be expected. However, some Burmese pythons did survive the cold weather, and it is important that hunters capture and euthanize any pythons found in these areas through the current season, which lasts until April 17.
