Florida Python Challenge™ Check Stations & Training Outposts
All pythons captured from the competition locations must be humanely killed prior to submission at a check station. Novice participants may not transport live pythons at any time. Participants must submit pythons at office event check stations within 24 hours of capture. Participants must chill or freeze python carcasses until submission to a check station. A datasheet must be fully completed and submitted for each captured Burmese python. Read the Rules for complete details.
