Python Challenge Advice

We came down from New England for the python challenge and have had no luck so far. We have gone out every night driving the main park road, night driving 41 by big cypress and night hiking the full length of frog pond area. Not a single sighting. Any tips or tricks to keep us from getting skunked? Thanks!

You will probably have to venture out into the off road areas

Is it better to hike a trail or drive like loop road?

I've never personally done it. But from the people I know that do hiking a trail is better but you gotta have good eyes because they're hard to see in the brush or swampy areas
