Registration is now open for the 2025 Florida Python Challenge™!

The Florida Everglades is an extraordinary ecosystem unlike any other in the world! It is home to a variety of rare and unique wildlife including a diversity of native birds, mammals, fish and reptiles. 

However, some reptiles, like the invasive Burmese python, do not belong in this ecosystem and pose a threat to native wildlife. The Florida Python Challenge is an exciting conservation effort which helps protect the rare Everglades habitat and the animals that live there from these invasive, nonnative snakes.

The python removal competition begins at 12:01 a.m. on July 11,2025 and ends at 5 p.m. on July 20, 2025. Register now!

Learn more about opportunities to remove pythons year-round outside of the ten-day Florida Python Challenge.
