TL;DR
A 19-foot, 125-pound Burmese python, the longest ever captured in Florida, was caught in Naples by a group of individuals, some of whom had never been python-hunting before. The snake put up a fight, requiring a change in technique to safely capture it. The Southwest Florida Conservancy has measured the snake and plans to conduct tests to learn more about it.
