Solving invasive python problem could be simple as putting them on the menu

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Invasive Burmese pythons could be the next white meat.
Just ask Donna Kalil, an experienced python hunter who has made jerky, stews, and even cookies using the meat and eggs from the reptiles.
“It’s good white meat. But you definitely have to prepare it properly,” Kalil told Local 10′s Janine Stanwood over a video call Tuesday afternoon.
The slithery, invasive reptiles are damaging Florida’s native ecosystem. But if a current study conducted by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Florida Department of Health shows their mercury levels are safe, they could be another source of protein on your plate.
