The python the bermis python now this one and for all of these species there's like a weird urban legend associated with how they took over the state of Florida it's like a scientific lab that was destroyed in a hurricane or a capsized ship carrying thousands of lionfish. I've done research I can't find evidence that any of these things are true but as this population spreads eating every single small creature in its path not even small deer not fucking small what do we do to stop it? The gene drive which has been more famously applied to mosquitoes in an effort to take down malaria to the Burmese python seems like it is possible to eradicate them completely.
