Fossilized remains of mammoth snake discovered

I was out hiking around the Big Cypress forests last year (adjacent to the Everglades). I stopped to talk to a Park ranger. We started talking snakes and he told me non-native species were getting to be common place and.....a problem. He elaborated that people had released so many unwanted pet Anaconcda's and Boa's, they were beginning to reproduce in the wild and reaching...disturbing size. Florida is enough like their home turf, they should thrive.
I love to backpack around Florida, and I find THAT fact.........disturbing. The thought of having to deal with an 88 foot Ananconda mano a mano ain't great
