Flanked by a huge writh- ing snake, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that the annual prize-win- ning hunt for invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades will begin Aug. 5, 2022.
People must register to participate and complete an online training course for the event, which typi- cally draws hundreds from across the country. Last year’s “Python Challenge” involved more than 600 people from 25 states, DeSantis said at a news con- ference in the Everglades.
Behind the Republican governor, it took three peo- ple to hold a live, 10-foot female python as a demon- stration. The snakes have virtually no natural ene- mies in the Everglades and have decimated native pop- ulations of mammals, birds and other reptiles.
“These pythons are a threat to the Everglades,” DeSantis said. “Let’s reel in
some pythons!”
The hunt begins August 5
at 8 a.m. and ends August 14 at 5 p.m. Prizes include $2,500 for the most pythons captured and $1,500 for the longest snake. Last year, the first-prize winner cap- tured 223 pythons, while the $1,500 winner bagged a snake that was more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) long. Snakes must be killed humanely.
DeSantis said this year’s state budget includes $3 million specifically for python removal in the Everglades, including tech- nology such as infrared sensorstolocatethehard- to-see snakes in the wild. A key point of the snake event, the governor said, is to raise awareness about the threat and enable peo- ple to take part.
“We view this as a chal- lenge,” he said. “We really wanted to super- charge those efforts to save our Everglades for future generations.”
