Massive python may break Florida record

1 day 1 hour ago , CBS-Miami

A giant 18-foot, 2-inch python found Tuesday may be the longest python ever caught in the state of Florida. Found by python hunter Bobby Hill, the body is now on its way to the University of Florida where it will be officially measured and studied. The current record is 17-feet, 7 inches. Writes Reuters of the find: "Officials have said the python population is believed to have grown to as many as 150,000 in the Everglades. The cold-blooded reptiles are often found atop levees, where they lie for hours at a time to warm up under the Florida sun. The snakes, one of the largest species in the world, found a home to their liking in the Everglades when pet owners started using the wetlands as a convenient dumping ground."
