[quote:Anonymous Coward 63016591:MV81MTY3NjEzXzk0OTM5OTgwXzg2MDVDODI=] That state needs to pay the hunters more. I think they only get $10 a foot AND they have to bring the snake in alive! So risk your life wrestling that beast for $180?! Gov Ron needs to let the hunters start shooting these snakes like the gator hunters do in Louisiana. [/quote]
Original Message
‘NAPLES, Fla. – – A record-breaking Burmese python found in the Everglades is now the largest documented of its species found in Florida, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida announced Wednesday.
The female python measures nearly 18 feet long, weighs 215 pounds, and was found with 122 developing eggs in its abdomen officials said.
Biologists used “scout snakes” to find the oversized python which works by implanting radio transmitters into male snakes to help wildlife officials understand the patterns and movement of the animal.‘
