>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.

And..."On average, hunters spend 12 hours searching for each snake they catch"

So, probably better money than driving an Uber, but not by much.

On the upside, you get to spend time outdoors and you get to kill your payload.

As 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.
