A grand prize of $1,500 will be awarded to the person who kills the most pythons, and $1,000 will go to the person who bags the longest one. According to the rules, road kill will not be eligible.

The largest Burmese python ever found in Florida — its 17 foot, 6-inch carcass weighed 164.5 pounds — was harvested in the Everglades in August. Researchers at the University of Florida found 87 eggs inside the snake.

The largest prey, Friar told CNN, was a 76-pound deer that was found in the stomach of a 16-foot python a few months ago.

Does all the $1000 bonus go to rfalconcam or does GVAS decide what portion of the bonus we get?

It all goes to Rfalconcam.  The email states it was won by Rfalconcam.  Last year they combined the totals of GVAS and Rfalconcam.  This year it is obvious that the $1,000 was won by the efforts of Rfalconcam.

Will that mean Rfalconcam can finally afford to shingle Beauty's house so she doesn't have roof leaks every time it rains??

  Maybe!

[I think 1,500 plus the bonus of 5000!]

We could also try for the bonus for Wild Wings in our later scheduled slot...

Doesn't need to be a huge donation since it's number of donors...just a thought

That's not a bad idea.

Count me in!

Even if everyone just donated a dollar, they would have a good chance!
