Estimate of 100,000 pythons in the wild, perhaps starting
from an inadvertent release in 1992, and ...<p>> Pythons face few predators here. In the spring, each adult female lays up to 100 eggs. Once her female children reach the age of four, they too begin to breed.<p>How many pythons would need to be caught each year
to reduce the population to, say, less than 1,000?
I think this infestation may need a different approach.
