The hunt for invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades is officially returning this summer, state officials announced today. The 2026 Florida Python Challenge will begin at 12:01 a.

"After the first time you see one, you'll start seeing them, but you'll also go nights [without seeing them.]"

Xander Robin's fluorescent, stranger-than-fiction 'The Python Hunt' follows a variety of American oddballs in the annual Florida Python Challenge.

A professional python hunter in the Florida Everglades recently stumbled upon what can only be described as the ultimate nightmare buffet: two massive, neighboring nests packed with a combined total of roughly 120 Burmese python eggs.

In Florida, hunters have successfully caught and removed hundreds of pythons as part of official conservation efforts.
