If you are a hunter looking for exotic prey, the Florida Fish and wildlife conservation commission invites you to take part in the 2024 Python Challenge competition.

Burmese Pythons are an invasive snake species that are spreading through South Florida – impacting native wildlife and birds.

The snakes can grow to almost 20 feet.

The hunt takes place on public lands in South Florida from August 9th through the 18th, – primarily the Everglades.

Participants in the 2022 Florida Python Challenge removed 209 invasive Burmese pythons from the Everglades; A total of 917 pythons have been removed as a result of the Florida Python Challenge® to date.

One thousand and fifty people from 35 states, and Belgium, registered for the 10-day competition in 2023.

Participants this year will have the chance to win a share of more than $25,000 in prizes while removing invasive Burmese pythons from the wild.

There are prizes of up to 10,000 dollars for killing the most Burmese pythons or 1000 bucks for killing the longest.

You can register for this year's event on-line at FLpythonchallenge.org.
