The Python Challenge

OK so the state of Florida is doing another python challenge this year. Since we are always out in the everglades we decided a while ago to take a python live capture class.  It was really a lot of fun and very informative.  The reason for this challenge is to try to remove as many invasive snakes as possible as they don't belong here, but they have adapted very well to our environment.  These snake are eating a lot more than our native snakes and are making a very big decline in our mammal population.   
Here is a picture from the class we took with FWC.  We (Carmel, Stacey and Carl) all passed the class and are working on year round licenses.
