Occhobi, Florida (Reuters) -Amy Siewee was a successful real estate agent -but her life changed after she seized the first snake in Evergalids, Florida.
“I suffered from this magic with snakes. So when I learned that there was a snake problem here in Florida … I went to a chase, and Beton (2.75 meters) caught, and this was the matter. I was a drug addict!” She said.
Within two months, she sold her business in Indiana and moved to Florida to become Bithon hunting.
Now, with more than 600 dead snakes under its belt, it is known as “Huntress” – one of a handful of women among the hundreds of men looking for a gaseous Burmese snake in the ecological system in Evergels, Florida.
“The length of this snake is about 10 feet (3 meters),” says a snake. “It may be about three years old, and so far it is eaten about 200 of our original animals, including mammals and birds.”
The Burmese snake has been deployed through the Evergelides National Park since Hurricane Andrew destroyed in 1992 a pet trade facility, which led to the liberation of about 900 snakes.
In the original original in Southeast Asia, the snake can grow to 18 feet (5.5 meters) and contain an evil appetite, consuming local wildlife, including mammals, birds and even crocodiles.
Everglades is a unique, almost tropical environmental system, with the largest ecosystem for the continuous in Western hemisphere. It is home to a wide range of unique species, including Endangery, American crocodile, and American crocodiles.
But it does not provide any natural predatory animals for the burme, allowing the residents of the balloon tools. Scientists have noticed dramatic declines in raccoons, Obusum, bobate and rabbits in the region.
“There is an estimated 500,000 Bethon there,” said Seo.
The snake, which is caught at night, cannot be transferred legally alive, so it is killed on the site after its arrest and measured.
Once the house, Siewe Skins the Dead Snakes, then professionally tanned leather in the skin to be converted into the governor, wallets, watch gangs and other commodities.
It takes 12 hours to arrest one.
“So this is not effective, right,” it admits. “We’ll always get a Florida cannons. What we are trying to do is know how to reduce their numbers. Fishing is now the most effective tool that we have.”
