EVERGLADES, Fla. (WSVN) — Some South Florida snake hunters showed off their colossal catch in the Florida Everglades, Monday: a 15-foot Burmese python.

It took four men to carry the large, 100-pound reptile. They found it near Big Cypress National Park.

The snake capture took place at around noon.

This snake hunt is part of South Florida Water Management District’s Python Elimination Program, which aims to stop the invasive species from destroying the Everglades.
