From an article in Huffington Post, Miami: The 2013 Python Challenge, which begins Saturday, has attracted participants and media interest from around the United States for a month long event that will feature prizes of $1,000 for catching the longest snakes and $1,500 for catching the most.
Special note: This organized python
hunt is not actually in the National Park but outside of it in other National
(Big Cypress) and State lands. Read the guidance issued by the park.
