One of my favorite catches of all time was my first ever Burmese Python (Python bivattatus). We caught his beautiful 9ft female down in the Everglades where unfortunately they have become an invasive species over the last decade causing a tremendous amount of damage to the ecosystem as an out of place apex predator. We turned this snake in, to the proper authorities soon after catching it, to he apart of a research study on how to mitigate the impact of these beautiful animals! 🐍🇲🇲🐍🇲🇲🐍🇲�
