People travel from far and wide to the Florida Python Challenge. They camp in tents, RVs, to catch one of these elusive slithering Burmese pythons.

The Burmese python, a non native species to Florida, was first recorded in the Sunshine State in the 1990s. Its exact population size is unclear.

A Florida man with near-unmatched gumption for slaying scaly creatures was awarded $1,000 through a new state incentive system for capturing a staggering 87 invasive pythons in just one month.
