This is the biggest one yet! The constrictor stretched 17 feet, 2 inches and measured 26 inches around at its thickest point. It weighed in at a staggering 207 pounds. Florida is overrun with this invasive species. Pet owners in Florida are releasing the critters to a very hospitable breeding ground.
The veterinarian killed the snake with head shots from a .22 caliber rifle the Miami Herald said. Though it's illegal to shoot them in state wildlife management areas or federal lands, the FWC says pythons can be legally shot on private property.

There was a movie on TV somtime ago about big snakes like this who went on a rampage and crushed humans to death, and ate them whole. . . the more I think about it, they need to clean them out of the everglades, kill them all. And we will be safe from them.
