Reptile Awareness Day

In Florida, where invasive Burmese pythons have established a breeding population in the Everglades, this day has a particular resonance. The pythons are eating the native wildlife. The state holds a Python Challenge every year, offering prizes to hunters who catch the most snakes. In 2023, they caught over 200 pythons. The Everglades is approximately 1.5 million acres. The pythons are winning.
