Longest-ever captured Burmese python in Florida sets new record

The longest-ever captured Burmese python sets a new record in Florida, according to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.

The non-profit organization says the female python was captured on July 10 by a 22-year-old and a group of python hunters in Big Cypress National Preserve.

Jake Waleri, who was part of a group of hunters at the time of the capture, told the organization that he wanted to bring in the snake to get the full scope of the size of their catch.
