Burmese pythons are spreading northward from their established breeding range in the Florida Everglades. Crossbreeding with Indian rock pythons have allowed them to expand their territory.

The 2025 Florida Python Challenge, a 10-day competition to remove invasive Burmese pythons, will run from July 11-20. $25,000 in prizes will be awarded, including $10,000 for most pythons caught.
