The Florida Python Challenge returns July 11–20, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
The challenge kicks off at 12:01 a.m. on July 11 and runs through 5 p.m. on July 20, inviting both seasoned pros and brave first-timers to help tackle one of the Everglades’ biggest problems: the invasive Burmese python.
Some of these snakes reach up to 20 feet long and are disrupting the Everglades’ natural food chain, preying on native wildlife and throwing the ecosystem out of balance.
Participants will compete for cash prizes in two categories: most pythons caught and longest python captured.
Beyond the bragging rights, every snake removed supports vital Everglades restoration efforts.
