The predator might soon become the prey if Florida scientists can confirm that Burmese pythons an extremely invasive species in the Everglades are safe for us to eat.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is collaborating with the Florida Department of Health to investigate the mercury levels in pythons to determine if they can be safely consumed. If so, the snakes may soon end up on restaurant menus and dinner tables across the state.
Pythons are nonvenomous constrictors primarily found in south Florida where they have posed a serious risk to native wildlife in the region. The snake is not native to the state, and began appearing in the Everglades in the 1980s when it was likely introduced as an escaped or released pet.

There s a clamoring in Florida to put python on the menu! But state officials first have to figure out whether the giant snakes contain too much mercury. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rep says, We would like to use consumption as another way to encourage people to remove pythons in Florida if the meat is safe to eat.
The nonvenomous constrictors are considered a risk to south Florida s wildlife. Introduced to the Everglades in the 1980s-likely as released or escaped pets-their numbers have boomed and left officials scrambling to get the python population under control. Now the fish and wildlife commission is working with the Florida Department of Health to determine pythons mercury levels, but one official says that Mercury is a naturally occurring element in the environment and it is high in the Everglades.
