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 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.
