The 2024 Florida Python Challenge concluded with Ronald Kiger winning the $10,000 grand prize by removing 20 Burmese pythons from the Everglades. This annual event, organized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), aims to raise awareness about the ecological threat posed by invasive Burmese pythons. Over 800 participants from 33 states and Canada removed nearly 200 pythons during the 10-day competition. Donna Kalil secured the second position with 19 pythons, earning $2,500 in the professional category. The challenge also featured prizes for the longest python and categories for novice and military participants. Since the inception of the challenge in 2017, over 14,000 pythons have been removed to help protect Florida's native wildlife.
