The Pythons and Boa Constrictors are overwhelming the Florida Everglades, decimating many animals and birds there.   This is a new way to find the snakes....

Outright elimination impossible? The deer population spikes and people just shoot those. Just because you can't hunt them all doesn't mean that killing what ones you find won't help. 

Also, one female with six males? She's not going to be able to slither for a while.

Well, I guess they do kill the ones they run across but they can't always find the snakes.   So having the transmitter on some males helps them to find the females more easily.    Even 100 eggs.... yikes!
