Holy moly! A group of python hunters captured the 19-foot Burmese python in Florida, the longest ever recorded in the state.
NAPLES, Fla. - A group of friends in Florida have just broken a record by capturing the longest python in the state.The hunters caught the longest python ever measured in Florida,19 feet exactly and 125 pounds. They said they wrestled it to the ground in order to capture it.“You know, you wake up to a text, that’s a picture of them, you know, with the friends draped with the snake across their shoulders. And you think ‘Well, that’s great.
“And we were getting ourselves into a fight that was a little bit trickier than we first anticipated,” hunter Jake Waleri said. “He took me a little too seriously. I always say whatever you do be the best at it. They really did it this time,” Ana Waleri said.“This one just blew me away when I came up to it and saw what he had caught,” said Stephen Gauta, one of the python hunters.“I originally walked up to it, thinking I could just come behind it and grab its head like a normal grab,” he said. “But then the snake went absolutely crazy. It was trying to wrap me up, trying to strangle me.
This snake was already measured by the Southwest Florida Conservancy and confirmed to be the longest ever captured in the state.“They’re thinking that maybe because of how large this snake is and how old it is, could be in the first or second generation of pythons that moved into Big Cypress,” Gauta said.“We want to get a skull mount,” Gauta said.“It’s really just about getting those first couple of pythons in the bag,” Gauta said.
The snake may be a huge one, but the thickness isn’t quite where it would normally be. That means it was likely malnourished. If it had been fully nourished, it probably would have been a lot harder to wrestle to the ground.Burmese pythons are an invasive species that plague southern Florida.
