Pygmy women and girls in the Ituri Rain Forest in the Congo. A few miles from where we first saw a very wild gorilla. We stayed and broke "bread" (roast snake) with some members of a family group of Pygmies. I hunted with them too (see story in my book: "Africa on a Pin & a Prayer)."

The 2016 Python Challenge Attempt at Removing This Snake from FL. Environment

APtravelnews–December 2nd,-Florida News Release from FF&WCC-This coming year, with the help of our partners, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida are hosting the 2016 Python Challenge™. This month-long invasive species awareness campaign will again include a public competition to remove nonnative Burmese pythons from public lands in Florida. With expanded participating areas, the lands where participants can search for and remove pythons have more than doubled.

Are you up for the Challenge? Register for the Python Removal Competition and compete to see if you can harvest the longest or the most Burmese pythons and win grand prizes of $5,000 in the team category and $3,500 in the individual category. 

We are providing frequent hands-on training for people who want to learn more about how to capture pythons, both before and during the event. The 2016 Python Challenge™ will kick off at the Invasive Species Awareness Festival on Jan. 16, 2016 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Details about trainings, competition rules and registration, prizes and events are posted atPythonChallenge.org.
