Mike Kimmel, otherwise known in Florida as the “Python Cowboy” recently captured a enormous 16-foot python that had 60 eggs inside of her.
Kimmel works hand in hand with his dogs Moose and Otto to root out the invasive Burmese pythons and they have been working tirelessly throughout ‘nesting season’ in Florida.
Mike Kimmel and Otto captured a 16-foot Burmese python that had 60 eggs in its belly. The eggs are the size of grapefruits.
“A removal like this is absolutely crucial for our native wildlife in that ecosystem and WILL make a difference,” he wrote in his July 6 post about the snake.
“A python this size can eat anything in the Florida Everglades, as I’ve proven with the multiple adult alligators that I’ve rescued from being eaten by pythons (3 separate times).”
Kimmel sells custom-made leather goods fashioned from python and iguna skins.
Kimmel made local headlines back in 2020 when he bagged a 17-foot female python weighing more than 150 pounds.
The Everglades area is home to millions of acres of wilderness that have long been overrun with the destructive non-native reptiles.
