More than 800 hunters are expected to compete for four-figure bounties for capturing one of the largest snake species in the world. The Florida Python Challenge, held from August 5 to 14, invites hunters to remove invasive Burmese pythons, which can grow up to 20 feet in length, from public state land. Florida is offering cash prizes for the snakes that range up to $2,500. Additional prizes will be given out to the hunters that bring in the longest pythons.

Today the first signs of Spring have been smothered by snow more than six inches deep. Daffodils and tulips are buried beneath a blanket of white, there are no sunbathers in the park and, in the fields, the lambs are huddling against their mothers for warmth and comfort.
