The Sunshine State is scrambling for solutions to a problem of the serpent kind.
Officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced the return of a dual hunt-and-conservation effort intended to free the Everglades from the grip of the invasive Burmese python.
The challenge first occurred in 2013 and, among the 1,600 participants, resulted in the capture-and-death of 68 snakes.
The Burmese python is considered an invasive species and is having a disastrous effect on native wildlife according to researchers.
