The recent capture of a 17-foot, 198-pound python in Florida generated national headlines, mostly because it was the second-heaviest python ever caught in the Sunshine State.
The main image showed five men posing with the dead python, which, as one meteorologist remarked, boasted a head “the size of a football.”
Such captures are indeed noteworthy. Burmese pythons are highly invasive and threaten native wildlife. They do not belong in Florida and the state encourages hunting and removal. But what people rarely see, because the swamp-dwelling reptiles are nocturnal, are giant live pythons roaming in broad daylight.

Truth be told..I would have run over it.....
Why may the python still be on the loose if reported dead?
So the clowns that took that video had a chance to run it over, kill it, and claim the bounty. Instead, it was more important to share it on the net. We are in free fall toward insanity.
“Why may the python still be on the loose if reported dead?”
It wasn’t reported dead. It was captured, but only on camera which shows it slithering away.
“The snake has been described on one of the Bond sites as an Anaconda, but Drax clearly calls it his pet python.”

Some people are very stupid. Don’t know what else to say.
The newest problem in Florida: Zombie pythons.
No, look at the source.
“The main image showed five men posing with the dead python, which, as one meteorologist remarked, boasted a head “the size of a football.”
The first is an image of it on the road. The second is the video. Third is of the men.
“The main image” refers to another article, not this one.
“highly invasive and threaten native wildlife. They do not belong in Florida..”
What about the highly invasive humans threatening native species that don’t belong anywhere in this country?
Even as you read this there are hundreds, even thousands of snake owners who are deciding that their pets are getting “pretty big” and expensive to feed.
Note to Florida Wildlife and ParkPersons: Ever think of having a law that forces snake owners to microchip their pets? Huh?
> Why may the python still be on the loose if reported dead? <
I’m guessing the python was captured, but some liberal DA released it without bond. Probably an automatic response on the DA’s part.
Easy to fix this.
Bring the head of a Burmese snake to a game warden, get free hunting/fishing license for the year.
Second paragraph of the posted excerpt said it was dead.
