A new record was set this week in the Big Cypress National Preserve.  This area is a favorite destination for a multitude of non residents every March to chase the wiley Osceola. A 19 foot Burmese Python was just caught in the preserve.  A new record. Will take run and gunning to a new level.  A constricter this size might discourage napping under a Cypress tree.  This was this group of snake hunters 49th Python. When THP hunted BC they got a quick picture of a panther on an episode. A 20 foot snake would be a topper Eek!  This area is over 600,000 acres so I'm not pimping out a secret spot. Good luck this spring.

Well thanks, that used to be my favorite snake hunting spot


600,000 acres is really nothing for secret python spots

20'snakes , water moccasins , alligators, fire ants, hurricanes every other month, 90 plus degree ocean water, and new Cuba (Miami)...keep it all down there...

[JeffC]

think I read that she had some 60 eggs in her. How long ago did that hurricane set all those pythons lose?? and how far north have they been found??

[Turkeybutt]

Well that seals the deal. No Grand Slam for me!
A 19 foot Burmese python!  Add to the mix an abundance of Pygmy Rattlesnakes, Eastern Diamondbacks, Coral Snakes, Eastern Copperheads, Water Moccasins plus Alligators.
I'd be shooting every snake I seen and would never get a turkey to come in.

Those freaking pythons are a major problem.  They have decimated the smaller mammal population. God help our turkeys.

Hey Joey maybe some of those python might grab some Ebiker on there way to those secret osceola spots??

[Greg Massey]

I wonder if the person who caught the python was using a decoy?  or maybe reaping

Not if they were real cool guys. Lol.

Guess this up close and personal sighting doesn't count, LOL.

Just tell the rednecks those pythons make good BBQ and they'll clean 'em up.   

When I was down chasing Osceolas a couple years back, I was actually HOPING to find one.  But I guess I wasn't far enough south.  Only 2 snakes I saw were of the non-toothy and non-constricting.

Hey Joey by insulting a member on this site it's against the rules you need to apologize to me for your vulgar remarks for saying bite me it's not acceptable.

Guy on floridaoutdoorforums.com had a link to buy wallets and several other items made from python skins.  Pricey but pretty neat. That forum looking for new blood. Give it a look.

I thought I heard recently that Florida Outdoor forums had closed up shop.

It would look good on the wall.
