The Python Challenge began on January 12th and attracted 800 python hunters looking to catch some big snakes to receive some big money. The event, however, has not gone as planned so far. The 800 hunters have only killed 11 of the 1500 that are predicted to be out there. The python hunters tend to do a lot more walking and looking at the ground than capturing snakes. The hunters are fishing for the $1000 prize for the longest snake and $1500 for the most captured. It doesn't look like there will be much competition for the prize this year.
