Burmese python nest found with 111 eggs
The largest active Burmese python nest ever found was just discovered
EVERGLADES CITY, Fla. - Over 100 eggs from an invasive python nest were removed from the Florida Everglades this week, as seen in a shocking Facebook post from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The photo shows 111 Burmese python eggs that were removed by a FWC contractor. The agency said this is a record-breaking nest.
The removal of the python and its eggs help to prevent a negative impact on Florida's native wildlife, FWC said. This species of python negatively impacts the Everglades ecosystem by preying upon and competing with native wildlife.

These snakes and other non-native reptiles "can be humanely killed on private lands at any time with landowner permission, as well as on 32 Commission-managed lands year-round," FWC said, adding that no permits or hunting licenses are needed.
