A Burmese python nest has been raided in Florida, as efforts to remove the invasive species continue.

Officer Matthew Rubenstein from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on a night patrol in the Big Cypress National Preserve when he bumped into Alex McDuffie, an officer for the Python Elimination Program, FWC said in a Facebook post. The Python Elimination Program's purpose is to take "aggressive action to protect the Everglades and eliminate invasive pythons from across the landscape," according to its website.
