I'll tell you, a 19yo 301# snake is pretty darn big! It measured 27 inches in girth...WOW!



I saw an interview on the local news with Glades Herp co-owner and he really had a lot of positive things to say about the snake. The coverage was pretty fair. In the end it seems the owner will get charged a 2nd degree misdemeanor for not having a ROC permit and the owner said he's considering giving it to a FL institution that is currently building an enclosure to house it. I'm thinking Gatorland, but it could be St. Augustine Alligator Farm or Croc Encounters in Tampa.
