A team of Florida wildlife biologists captured the largest Burmese python ever discovered in the state, officials announced Thursday.

Ashland County Sheriff's Office, with the help of a snake handler, rescued a 5-foot ball python from a farmhouse.

Launched in January to incentivize python hunters to capture and kill the invasive snake, the SFWMD awards $1,000 monthly to the hunter who removes the most pythons.

Wildlife cameras near outside the city of Naples, Florida, caught an American bobcat preying on an invasive Burmese python, Good News Network reports, citing earlier reporting from Gulf Coast News.
