(CNN) - It is 17.9 feet long, that is, a little over 5 meters, and according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), it is the second most python Big captured in the state.
After doing the analysis of the animal and the respective measurement, the FWC posted on its Facebook page the photos and videos of the feat, giving credit to Kevin Reich, a member of the "Pyton Action" team. "Men and women like Kevin are making a big difference to our native wildlife."
On its website, the FWC explains the importance of capturing this species. He says that it is a Burmese python, a non-venomous constrictor, invading the state of Florida, which is normally found in the everglades and surrounding areas, threatening native wildlife.

These pythons are among the animals that the FWC allows to kill in Florida on private property, with the permission of the landowner and also in 22 areas demarcated by the same commission.
