The Florida Python Challenge is an annual competition to help control the invasive Burmese python population.

The latest python season ended with a new record number of catches for Florida wildlife biologists, in part, due to the use of "scout" pythons.

State officials still consider the Everglades the center of the invasion, but the snakes may be moving naturally along the state's canals, wetlands, and other waterways, per Newsweek.
