Tom Rahill removed 96 of the invasive snakes from the Everglades in just 10 days — more than enough to leave the rest of the field in the swamp dust.

The results and winners of the 2026 Florida Python Challenge were announced on Wednesday, bringing the annual competition to a close.

Over 900 participants helped remove 280 invasive Burmese pythons from South Florida during the 2026 Florida Python Challenge, according to FWC.
