We want you! ... to help catch and kill invasive Burmese pythons

Dusty Crum, of Myakka City, holds up the 11-foot, 6-inch Burmese Python he and his hunting partners captured in the southern Everglades during the Python Challenge. Crum hates to kill the snakes, as the hunt's rules require. "It's not their fault people are irresponsible," he said.

Greg Conterio, hunts for Burmese pythons in Homestead, Fla., on Thursday, Mar. 30, 2017. Since making it's way into the bountiful wild areas of South Florida, the Burmese python have thrived, taking a top position in the food chain. The python's adaptability to the Everglades environment has significantly increased its population, and the snake has now decimated whole species of small mammals, such as the marsh rabbit. Hunters, such as Conterio, are hired to enforce population control of the snake.
