A Florida family has spotted a giant Burmese python in the yard of their home. The snake, which was estimated to measure around nine feet in length, appeared to be sunning itself, Alicia Perez Carillo, a member of the family, told CBS4 Miami.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) the cold-blooded pythons like to venture out into the open more frequently in cooler weather in order to catch some sun and warm up—meaning people are more likely to encounter them.
