Melon from southern mexico ID

Does anyone know what this melon is from Mexico? it is red inside. It is unlike the kiwano.

Looks like a bitter melon, although most I've seen are more elongated. If so, it's from India, not Mexico. I know an Indian rancher who grows it commercially on a small scale.

They have them here in Florida too. They seem to kind of invasive growing up into trees and can spread pretty quick. Apparently the red flesh is  edible but I can't quite remember their name.
