A group of python hunters captured a record-breaking snake in Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve. The Burmese python was measured at 19 feet and approx 125 pounds. Pythons are an invasive species in Florida, and the government allows private hunters to capture or kill the reptile within its borders. The state's annual Florida Python Challenge, a multi-day event that provides cash incentives for whomever can catch the most snakes, kicks off next month from Aug 4 to Aug 13. | NowThis
