Record-Breaking Python Hunters Capture Monstrous 198-Pound Snake in Florida
Originally Published 2 years ago — by WPLG Local 10
A group of python hunters in Florida captured one of the heaviest snakes ever caught in the state, a female Burmese python measuring over 17 feet long and weighing 198 pounds. The hunters found remains of a deer in her stomach, and they were glad to have removed her from the Everglades to protect the local wildlife. The python is the second heaviest snake officially caught in Florida, with the record being a 215-pound python caught in June 2022.
