This snake was caught about 30 miles from my Hood.
Now I haven't seen one that big because I don't go looking...but I see 6 t0 8 footers pretty regularly now a days.
We just run them over and keep on rolling.
My neighbors Chicken coop is like a food Plot..

A new camera developed by University of Central Florida researchers and the nonprofit company Imec uses a special wavelength of light to expose the snake as an ethereal slither against black, a ghostly coil in the river of grass.
Because pythons are cold-blooded and adopt the temperature of their surroundings, thermal imaging proved useless in hunting the invasive species.
But the camera uses a near infrared 850 nanometer wavelength (humans see between 400 and 700 nanometers) to detect the snakes, which reflect light at that level differently than the flora and waterways of South Florida.

So coons and possums eat python eggs?

Yup..Non edible at that size and age..
Get a 6 footer and your ok...but why would you bother there's fresh Iguana meat about everywhere...

What kind of tape did they use for its mouth?
If they had used good old fashioned duct tape, it could have become the commercial of the decade

Probably electrical tape. Same thing I have seen the gator relocators use on gators.

They need to sell themselves a little better and get more excited during the round up like them Swamp People shows. They’ll get them a show on national TV if they do that.

Wonder how many pairs of good boots that snake would make?

there's a pretty sound theory that ground zero for the explosion of pythons in the everglades was a pet shop down there somewhere that got completely annihilated during Hurricane Andrew. apparently it was chock full of the damn things, which makes sense that that is what would start a population spread because so many of them were released in close proximity to one another. otherwise it would just be onesies and twosies across the area which seems unlikely would lead to such a huge population increase because the snakes wouldnt be able to find eachother to breed.
I've heard that theory also.
Makes sense.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say they need to get a bigger net
