The "mammoth" snake measured 17 feet 5 inches, according to the SFWMD, which added that the snake was the "third caught as part of the program that measured more than 17 feet."
"This snake just showed me that you can really do anything, I just caught this python alone, I was riding along the dike and I saw this huge girl in the water." She jumped and grabbed her by the head and noticed how big it really was. " Penniston wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week.
The Florida man went on to describe additional details of the capture, indicating that the python "began to envelop me while trying to climb it into the dike." At one point, Penniston said she lost her grip and "as soon as I knew she had my hand in her mouth".
The python was one of the few captured by a hunter with the Python Elimination Program of the SFWMD that measured more than 17 feet in length.
"I grabbed my gun from the one in the camera and got stuck. I kept fighting until we were both dead of energy. I was finally able to put it on the dike and euthanized it as required by our program, "he added.
"With the record catch, the SFWMD python hunters have now eliminated 1,859 of the invasive snakes on District lands, extending a combined length of more than two miles and collectively weighing more than 11 tons," the state agency said in a statement. communicated after the capture.

The program helps eliminate "invasive" species from the Everglades ecosystem, since Burmese pythons have "decimated native populations of wildlife," the SFWMD said. Professional python hunters, selected by program officials, can go to district lands to hunt and then "humanly sacrifice" the creatures.
"The more you can eliminate, especially the females and their eggs, the more likely it is that future generations of native wildlife will have to thrive in the Everglades ecosystem that Floridians have invested billions of dollars to restore," said the SFWMD.
