Record-Setting Python Caught in Florida

Tuesday, 21 May 2013 | by Pat's Picks

At 18 feet, eight inches long, a python has beaten the previous record for the biggest snake caught in Florida by almost a foot. The Burmese python was killed in a rural part of the state, reports the Sun Sentinel, after wrapping itself around a man’s legs. The female snake weighed in at 128 pounds. But wildlife officials say she hadn’t been eating particularly well after finding a single bird feather in the python’s stomach.
