Python week continues unabated in Florida

What's up with all of the python activity in the news lately? First there was the 13 footer that tried to swallow an alligator and then I came across this little gem in the news today as well:

Elidia Rodriguez, of Miami Gardens, had been looking for her year-old Siamese cat for two days when her son found a bulging Burmese python slithering in her back yard. Al Cruz from the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue anti-venom unit then captured the snake, and it was taken to the Sense of Wonder Nature Center at A.D. Barnes National Park. Veterinarian William Chavez said an X-ray shows evidence that the bulge in the python was indeed from a cat it had eaten. "We usually get two birds here a week that get attacked by cats. They either get killed, mauled. Baby opossums. Cats kill everything ...(In this case), something killed a cat and swallowed it," Chavez said.

The best part? Obvs: the photo evidence!! You can totally see the cat's spine and head (lower left)!
