A police sergeant and a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputy teamed up to capture a massive 14-foot Burmese python in Pinecrest.
Sgt. Carlos Atola and the deputy were able to take the massive snake into custody along U.S. 1, Pinecrest Police said Thursday.
The police department posted a photo of the two posing with the massive python to Facebook.
The invastive pythons are not native to Florida, but have become established in the Everglades and other areas.
“This invasive species poses a serious threat to Florida’s native wildlife, and thanks to quick action, it’s one less slithering danger on our roads and in our community,” police said in the post.
