The 2026 Florida Python Challenge™ took place from July 10, 2026, through July 19, 2026.
The Florida Everglades is an extraordinary ecosystem unlike any other in the world! It is home to a variety of rare and unique wildlife including a diversity of native birds, mammals, fish and reptiles.
However, nonnative reptiles, like the invasive Burmese python, pose a significant threat to native wildlife and don't belong here. The Florida Python Challenge™ is an exciting conservation effort intended to raise awareness about invasive species while helping to protect the unique ecosystems of the Everglades and the wildlife that live there from these invasive snakes.
