Jacksonville District Biologist Jessica Spencer recently called the PYTHON HOTLINE after coming across a python curled up under some vegetation just off the boardwalk at Fakahatchee Strand State Park. Within 30 minutes, three trained responders arrived and removed a 15' 5" gravid female python, weighing in at 112 lbs.
