The monster that University of Florida researchers found in the Everglades earlier this year (above) illustrates painfully why the irresponsible snake owners who dump their pets in the swamp should face criminal charges!

It measured 17 feet, 7 inches – more than twice Miami Heat star LeBron James‘ height!
