Record 164-Pound, 17.5-Foot Python Caught in Florida

Scientists say they've caught the biggest Burmese python ever recorded in Florida.
The python weighed in at 164.5 pounds and measured 17 feet, 7 inches long. It was pregnant with 87 eggs.
"This thing is monstrous, it's about a foot wide," said Florida Museum herpetology collection manager Kenneth Krysko, in a press release  . "It means these snakes are surviving a long time in the wild, there's nothing stopping them and the native wildlife are in trouble."

Any reptile should be il;legal to own. It's not like anyone who takes one home knows what to do with it. Then they escape or are let loose & you start missing your small pets. This thing could snatch a child.
