I spent all of my high school years snake hunting in panther territory but never saw one.

I spent a year as an intern with the FG&FWFC while I was getting my law enforcement degree...never saw one.

I spent two years as a reserve officer for the FG&FWFC and not a one (though I did hear them calling a few times).

But finally, in 1989 I saw one on SR 846 in Hendry County. I caught two anerthryistic corn snakes that night as well.
