$2,500

The prize money being offered for the most pythons captured in Florida’s “Python Challenge,” which will be held on Aug. 5. Another $1,500 prize will be awarded for the longest snake captured. Last year’s event involved more than 600 people from 25 states and the first-prize winner captured 223 pythons. The Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Florida Everglades and have decimated native populations of mammals, birds and other reptiles.
