Florida is doing everything possible to rid the state of the invasive python that is dominating the Everglades.

Snake hunter bags largest python during Everglades hunt
Python came in at 16ft, 10in and weighed 130 lbs.
Professional snake hunters have been called in and the state is offering rewards for anybody who takes down one of the giant snakes.

This week, one snake hunter named Dusty “Wildman” Crum broke a record for his catch of the day.

Wildman bagged a 16 foot, 10 inch python. It is the biggest caught during this round of snake hunting, but it’s not the biggest ever—which is 18 feet and two inches long.

"Whoo! 16-10, baby! Man that's a big one! Biggest snake I ever caught in my life right there," Wildman said.

The female python weighed in at 130 pounds.

"130. 130? Wow! I thought it was way more than that," he said.

The South Florida Water Management District pays the hunters $8.10 per hour. They also get $50 for a 4-foot long snake, plus $25 for each additional foot above.

Hunters also receive an additional $100 for each eliminate python found guarding nests with eggs.

Seventy eight eggs were found with Wildman’s catch.

“We’re making a difference by taking the eggs out of the ecosystem,” Wildman said.

There are thousands upon thousands of these pythons in the Everglades wiping out wildlife.
