The South Florida Water Management District's new incentive program seems to be working with nearly 100 snakes eliminated so far in 2025.

FWC said this time of year is ideal for holding the Python Challenge because hatchlings are emerging from eggs.

Florida wants you to kill as many of the invasive Burmese pythons as you can during the 10-days contest in July. But you can't shoot them.

How do you kill snakes humanely in the Florida Python Challenge? In the competition, Burmese pythons must be humanely killed. Novices must kill them immediately at the place they were caught.
