For everyone who took the time to register for the 2022 Florida Python Challenge — you're about to be really busy! Friday, Aug. 5, marks the start of the event.
In Florida, it's not rabbit or duck season -- it's snake season. The annual "Burmese Python Challenge," a 10-day annual competition to kill as many invasive Burmese pythons as possible, begins Friday.
More than 800 competitors are now leaving no stone unturned in Florida's Everglades as they compete in the state's annual python hunt that aims to control the large snake population.
The state's Python Challenge runs through August 14th.
