According to the Water Management District Spokesman, Engineers in the Everglades stumbled upon a near-record-breaking Burmese python measuring more than 18 feet long during a routine inspection of levees on Tuesday.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, The snake, measuring at 18 feet 2 inches, fell short of the state record by 6 inches.
Johnson (commission spokesman) said that, Last year, a snake collector in the state discovered the largest python on record there, measuring 18 feet 8 inches.
They eat home-grown genus and their food sources, fueling concerns that the predator snakes will vitally change the ecosystem.
According to the Gabe Margasak, (spokesman of South Florida Water Management District), the python found on Tuesday was killed, and its corpse was taken to the University of Florida, where it will be measured and studied by scientists trying to combat the species.
