Florida governor Ron DeSantis has jumpstarted registration for the 2021 Python Challenge in the Everglades - and it’s every bit as wild as it sounds.
In a news conference on Thursday morning, DeSantis said he wanted to restore the Everglades by removing Burmese Pythons from the area, as they cause damage to the ecosystem.
“I’ve charged the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) with dedicating more resources and taking innovative approaches to removing invasive Burmese pythons, which can grow to 20 feet in length, weigh up to 200 pounds and cause major damage to the ecosystem,” DeSantis said in the conference.

Part of that includes a challenge to see who can catch and remove the longest python from the wild. Those who are interested in being a part of this can register at the Florida Python Challenge website.
