Two days before Florida's annual invasive python hunt, two amateur python hunters came across a BIG one.
NAPLES, Fla. — Three men said how they're pumped for the annual Python Challenge invasive snake hunting event, after catching a nearly 18-foot python Wednesday night in the Big Cypress National Preserve.
"These big snakes are called 'South Florida speed bumps' for a reason and I know why now,” driver Jake Waleri said. “I was screaming out of excitement. I couldn’t believe I saw something that big,” Waleri said."We heard of a hunter who was in the area just three nights before and told us about a monster snake that he saw crossing the road. We caught it in the exact same area that he reported. We thought about this snake for the last couple of days and we were able to come across it last night. It was just a crazy experience.
That big discovery, the hunters said, came after three years of no hunting luck. They started hunting out of their love of nature.This comes as a reminder two days before the annual Python Challenge, in which professionals and amateurs alike are encouraged to capture these invasive animals.
