A total of 106 snakes are killed in Florida's month-long Burmese python hunt
"After a month-long state-sanctioned hunt for invasive Burmese Pythons in Florida, 106 snakes were killed, with the longest measuring 15 feet."
"A team of four killed a nearly a third of the overall tally with 33 pythons, taking home the $5,000 cash prize. They won an additional $3,000 for capturing the longest snake, clocking in at 15 feet." "Brian Wood of All American Gator Products in Hollywood pays up to $150 apiece for the snakes — about the same price he pays for python skins imported from Asia.

Trying to figure the best caliber or gauge to send them on their way?

In my opinion, most any shotgun of 20 ga. or above.
Including muzzle loaders. With front loaders it might be a good idea to use dacron wads. I try to use them in areas prone to fire. Regular shotgun wads, for the stuffers, are normally okay though. |

i highly recommend a Saiga 12 for snakes..# 4 buckshot would be great for big snakes...i dont believe you florida guys have a chance at eliminating these things.....the snakes have too many good hiding places down there....like mangrove thickets that you cant even hack your way through with a chainsaw.

Well I guess if they kept it up and killed a hundred of the damned things a month it would make some kind of difference. They eat pets, and the local fauna, so the more you kill the fewer local critters will be eaten. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Use a machete, chop their heads off, leaves the skin intact.
