And They Call It The Judas Snake

A monster Burmese python captured in the Everglades has broken the state size record, stretching 17 feet, 7 inches, its belly bursting with 87 eggs, the University of Florida announced Monday.

They took it alive and brought it to the USGS office in Davie, where they fitted it with radio transmitters and other devices and returned it to the Everglades.

Like a captured spy who becomes a double agent, the snake now worked for the U.S. government. It became what scientists call a "Judas snake," used by scientists to locate other snakes as they congregated for mating.


Now I am going to have nightmares of 87 just hatched little pythons attacking some sealed up installation that I happen to also be trapped in. It's bad enough that Florida has Aligators and Floridians, but now you have to worry about giant pythons. FUCK THAT! I can't flash freeze all of them with only two working fire exstinquishers.
