Wildlife officials say the 2013 Python Challenge is not only about killing snakes. "One of things that is very important to us is to educate the public about the Burmese python and how this species is impacting the state of Florida," Segelson said.
"We're hoping to inform people ... if they do have exotic pets that they understand the importance of not releasing them into the wild."
The contest ends at midnight on February 10.
