The snake reported to have bitten two dogs in Attleboro, MA on July 9 is most likely not a rare venomous snake, state wildlife officials said.

Snake hunters across Florida are participating in the annual “Python Challenge.” The goal of the 10-day event is to remove invasive Burmese pythons from the state. The Python Challenge began at midnight on Friday and will conclude on July 20. The challenge offers a $10,000 cash prize to the hunter who removes the most pythons.
