The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission insists that you’ll be doing them a favor. Burmese Pythons are an invasive species in the Everglades (who knew?) and officials have introduced a contest in an effort to cull the python population. A $1,500 prize will go to whoever kills the most pythons, plus $1,000 for whoever hunts the longest python.
