APOPKA — Wildlife officials are putting the squeeze on owners of "monster" Burmese pythons.
On Friday, Delilah, an 18-foot-long, 400-plus-pound python who fed on rabbits in an Apopka-area backyard, was seized.
Earlier in the week, officials, acting on an anonymous tip, uncovered 11-foot-long male Burmese python, dwarfed by its female companion, a 17-foot behemoth weighing more than 150 pounds, at a Lakeland home. The owner did not have a permit and is being charged with two misdemeanors.

Perhaps they are trying to make up for something else that is undersized.The thought did cross my mind.

We've already got the industrial strength version here in Florida ,, PLENTY of them ... and yes they are arguing over territory..
To: Daffynition
It would be great to release some in Central Park, Manhattan. Lots of those people love all animals (as long as its not around their homes)
