It is our purpose to provide interesting videos, photos, and articles to entertain and educate.

Python Challenge on the Wild Side Article Courtesy: floridaytoday.com | By: Bill Sargent | Originally published: November 28, 2015Those with a quest for a little wild adventure might consider entering the 2016 Python Challenge in the Florida Everglades. It should make for some heart-pounding moments.
Officials with the sponsoring Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission expect the Jan. 16-Feb. 14 hunt to be more successful than a similar hunt in 2013 when 1,600 hunters bagged only 68 of the invasive reptiles. This hunt is expanding into the Everglades National Park, and more training of the hunters and other resources are being added.
FWC biologists acknowledge that the hunt only will have a small impact on the overall python population. But the real value is to create a greater public awareness of the danger of the snakes.
“Burmese pythons continue to be a significant issue in the Everglades,” said FWC commissioner Ron Bergeron of Fort Lauderdale. “We hope these efforts will increase sightings and removal of pythons over the long-term in this valuable ecosystem.”
The warm wetlands of the South Florida region are similar to the python’s native habitats in Southeast Asia. What’s more, the numbers have been compounded by the overabundance of food available to the snakes.
Prizes totaling $8,500 will be offered for the longest pythons and the highest numbers captured with $5,000 given in the team division and $3,500 in the individual category.
Individuals will pay a $25 entry fee and teams of two to five individuals will pay $75. Individuals under 18 years of age can participate but their parents or legal guardians must complete their registration, and they must hunt with adults.

They won prizes for the longest python and the highest number captured. They’ll be one of the teams to beat in the 2016 Python Challenge starting in January.
