Select Registration Type
Are you a current or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces?

Before registering for the Florida Python Challenge™, participants are required to read the Rules and take the Required Online Training. Please reserve about 30 minutes to complete this learning module. While you may take the training as many times as you like, you must complete the training and pass the quiz at the end by scoring at least 85% to register for the Florida Python Challenge™. 

Once you pass the quiz, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement. On the bottom of that Certificate, you will find your unique completion code. This code will allow you to properly register for the Florida Python Challenge™. Please enter the completion code below. To view your certificate, log back into the eLearning course.

I understand after reading the Rules it is my responsibility to ensure all pythons are humanely killed per the competition rules and all specific area regulations. All pythons must be  submitted  with corresponding datasheets which are true and accurate. Any occurrences of fraud may result in criminal prosecution. 

Registrants may not have had any prior convictions for fish or wildlife violations or animal cruelty, including violations of Title 68, Florida Administrative Code, or Chapters 379 or 828, Florida Statutes.

Youth under age 18 must have their parent or legal guardian complete their registration. Youth must also be accompanied by a registered adult while participating in the competition.

By checking this box I am agreeing, for myself and my heirs, to indemnify and hold the State of Florida, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Florida Python Challenge™ partners harmless from any and all claims or demands due to any personal injury or property damage resulting from or occurring in connection with any activities relating to my participation, or the participation of my children, in the Florida Python Challenge™. I understand that these activities are inherently dangerous, and I am freely and voluntarily assuming that risk.

The FWC will only send text/SMS messages to Florida Python Challenge™ participants, who choose to opt-in, to announce changes to the event (emergencies, check-station closures, updating access to challenge lands, pausing event due to storm, etc.) FLPythonChallenge.org will always be updated with the timeliest information.

Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel. To view terms and conditions visit https://flpythonchallenge.org/participate/competition/registration/text-message/. Message frequency may vary.

Registration is non-refundable. Registration funds will support this event and future nonnative species removal activities.
