Amateur Florida python hunters can win prizes

Catch a snake, win a shirt. And perhaps more.

That's the pitch being made by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which on Monday introduced a "Python Pickup Program." According to the Tampa Bay Times, anyone who captures a python in the wild can submit a photo of the snake they caught in order to win.

Each amateur snake-snatcher will receive a "Python Pickup" T-shirt and be entered into a drawing for prizes that include "snake hooks, custom engraved Yeti tumblers, Plano sportsman's trunks, GoPro cameras and Badlands backpacks," according to a news release issued by the agency.
