If you would like to watch more “Florida Man” capturing pythons in Florida with their bare hands.

Look up the YouTube Channel called the Python Cowboy.

Check out this video, where a huge python managed to bite him on the arm, he was fortunately able to get it off of his arm, but the puncture wounds nearly caused him to pass out from the blood loss, in the end he managed to get the snake under control.

Rather than wrestling them...why not just pull out a gun and shoot them in the head? That would end the drama real fast.

If you wrote the script for ‘Cujo’, it would have been a very short movie...

Exactly, it takes a real Florida Man to catch a 19-ft python with his bare hands.

Anyone can shoot one, what fun is that it takes a Florida Man to catch them with your bare hands.

This looks, along with gator wrestling, to be a great candidate for inclusion in the Olympic summer games.

I was wondering why the first move was not to chop the head off, or try to.
I would think that would be a two man job at the very least.
