Florida’s war against the Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is still going strong, but you can do your part to battle one of the state’s most destructive invasive species. Earlier this week, Everglades National Park announced it is once again teaming up with local organizations for this year’s Florida Python Challenge.

The dates for the 2026 Florida Python Challenge are set. Here's how last year's winner captured a whopping 60 pythons for the $10,000 grand prize.

Within the next couple of decades, the Key Largo woodrat could go extinct if the Burmese python population continues as is, a researcher said.

Florida wildlife officials released more information about the 2026 Florida Python Challenge on Tuesday, which brings hunters from all over to compete for a big cash prize while also helping protect the local ecosystem.
