The biggest one so far


What do you suppose is that long thing on the table? It's a Burmese python weighing 164½ pounds, measured at 17 feet, 7 inches long and pregnant with 87 eggs.  It's the largest one caught in Florida thus far.  But it's by no means the first one.  The state has been trying to get rid of them for a while now but does not seem to be making much progress,  It's estimated that there are tens of thousands of the pythons having fun in the Everglades - and sometimes in people's pools.
