However, the state’s partnership with Inversa is a big deal.

The company started working with the Sunshine State back in 2024 — and they’ve done incredible work ever since. Between May and July 2025, 1,022 pythons were removed — nearly triple the number caught during the same period in 2024.

“The new program accomplished more removals in July 2025 alone than in the entire year before,” DeSantis said in a statement. //

Ferré noted that “increasing hunter pay by leveraging the fashion sector has led to a significant increase in removals” and shared that Inversa has found that fashion brands are seeking out these types of materials to meet their sustainability goals.
