The competition to remove Burmese pythons will kick off at noon on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016, and continue through 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016. Competitors will be able to remove Burmese pythons from participating areas. Only Burmese pythons removed from these areas will be considered as valid entries in the competition.
