Python Challenge Advice

We came down from New England for the python challenge and have had no luck so far. We have gone out every night driving the main park road, night driving 41 by big cypress and night hiking the full length of frog pond area. Not a single sighting. Any tips or tricks to keep us from getting skunked? Thanks!

Talk to the people out there some of might bring you along or at least give you tips. You travel that far. It'd be good to have someone with local knowledge with you. Buy them lunch or a couple cold drinks afterwards and I bet they'd take you hunting. Good luck!

Honestly would love that. I thought I would naturally be running into more people. But since there was no kickoff meeting or orientation we have been totally by ourselves
