The python, which weighed 165 pounds and was almost 16 feet long, was the second biggest Bergeron had ever seen. The snake was just a foot or so short of becoming the longest ever measured in the state, measuring a whopping 40 feet from snout to tail. The fact that the female predator was guarding a nest of at least 50 eggs was perhaps the most horrifying aspect of the situation.
