THE EVERGLAGES -- Mike Elfenbein shared a photo of a python catch on Nov. 3. "A new personal best, pfficially 17’2” and 198 pounds. This snake ate a lot of native wildlife to get this big. She ate her last meal! It took five of us to control her, glad to have removed her from our Everglades where she can no longer eat our wildlife," he stated.
