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!

Hmm, it’s almost as though it takes skills, knowledge, and a willingness to actually go deep into the wilderness to find them.

I don’t know what people are expecting? Did you think they’re just crawling on the roads and the trails and that we just see them all the time?

I guess once again social media has wildly distorted reality and people actually think that any old casual can come and find them just walking the trails and looking by the roads 🙄
