EVERGLADES, Fla. — A man broke a new record by removing 111 Burmese Python eggs from the Everglades.
Brandon Rahe, a Florida Fish and Wildlife constrictor, removed the eggs from the largest active nest ever found by a wild-caught python.

Burmese pythons negatively impact the Everglades ecosystem by preying upon and competing with native wildlife. The removal of the 111 unhatched eggs helps to prevent future negative impacts on our native wildlife.
UF anf FWC will release the snake back into the wild as part of the telemetry program to track movement patterns, mating habits, etc. According to Rahe, the snake will be picked back up in due time once her study time is over.
Recently, a group of Florida men captured the longest Burmese Python in Florida.
