The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission (FCP) (WC) is trying to control the breeding of these snakes, which are estimated to be in the thousands in the state's Everglades National Park.
A ten-day dragon hunting competition was also organized in which 800 people participated.
Enrique Galen, a resident of Florida, is also a professional hunter affiliated with the FWC who hunts these large, powerful snakes brought from South Asia.
Enrique Galen says that these dragons have a natural hunting ability. They also prey on raccoons and white-tailed deer, among other reptiles, birds, and larger animals.
The 1.5-million-acre Everglades National Park in Florida is home to thousands of six- to nine-foot-long dragons.
They require special skills and patience to catch them.
After two unsuccessful nights, Enrique Galen saw a baby dragon, which he caught and put in his bag and tied a knot.
They later killed the dragon with a BB gun.

While the dragons are a threat to wildlife, they are also a source of therapy for mentally ill American soldiers who have participated in the Iraq or Afghanistan fights.
American citizen Tom Rahal founded Swamp Apes 15 years ago for American veterans.
Association was established where they try to get rid of the painful memories of the battle by hunting dragons.
Rahm Lonson, a US soldier who participated in the Iraq battle, said that dragon hunting helped him fight depression and anxiety. It has helped.
They say that they can't sleep at night and if someone takes them on a dragon hunt at twelve or two o'clock in the middle of the night, they feel good and useful.
He has hunted the dragons and killed them.
