Estimate of 100,000 pythons in the wild, perhaps starting from an inadvertent release in 1992, and ... > 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. 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.
