- astazangasta 8y agoIf they can raise a python for less than $50 this will happen.
- lostapathy 8y agoProbably why this program is only limited to licensed snake hunters and not the general population.
- pdpht 8y agoI don't understand the downvotes to the GP, he is clearly referring in jest to this.
- kartan 8y agoThanks for noticing. I'm sorry that you got downvoted for it. My comment was a test, I wanted to see how it played out. Even with such common knowledge topic, I see that there is not enough "tone" in my comment for people to be able to read its intention. This is a similar case to Poe's law. Next time I will try with ";)". I guess that it will clarify the intent of the comment. So, no fault in the people that did not notice. Next time I will do better. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

- nickodell 8y ago>For a snake less than 4ft long, like this one, hunters receive $50. Every additional foot in length earns them another $25. On top of that, they get the minimum wage –$8.25 an hour in Florida – for the time they spend on district land.

- zeroname 8y agoOn the upside, you get to spend time outdoors and you get to kill your payload.
- ppseafield 8y agoAs a downside, you get to spend 12 hours in suffocating humidity, get eaten alive by mosquitoes, watch for gators and any of the other native snakes, including the water moccasin.

- varlogix 8y agoThey did this in India for rats or snakes (can't remember which). To make money, people then started breeding the creatures. :)
