Florida man catches monster python in Everglades

A south Florida man who calls himself the “PythonKing” shared pictures of his latest catch on social media.

Judging by his Facebook page, Leonardo Sanchez spends a lot of his weekends in the Everglades searching for invasive python species.

Photos of his latest catch, a massive python, made their way onto social media over the weekend and they’re quite impressive.

By the looks of other social media posts from Saturday, Sanchez had some help wrangling this 15-foot beast.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the largest python removed to date from the Everglades measured close to 17-feet in length.

Sanchez will have to keep catching pythons if he wants to set a state record.
