The Florida Python Challenge® is a ten-day competition, challenging participants to remove as many Burmese pythons from Florida’s public lands as possible. The intent of the Florida Python Challenge® is to raise public awareness about Burmese pythons in Florida and how this invasive species is a threat to the Everglades ecosystem, including native wildlife. The python removal competition begins at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, August 5, 2022 and ends at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 14, 2022. . . . #saveth

Registration is now open for the 2025 Florida Python Challenge, when avid and amateur hunters alike can compete for cash prizes as they work to rid the Everglades of the ravenous, invasive Burmese python. The ultimate grand prize is $10,000, but another $15,000 are available across different categories. And this year, Everglades National Park is joining seven other locations across the area to host the hunt. Details here: http://on.nbc6.com/xoDOFS3 #florida #python #cash #prize | NBC 6
