Florida Men Wrangle Large Snake Near Miami Mall
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - MARCH 23: McKayla Spencer, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation as the Interagency Python Management Coordinator, works with a Burmese python used to train dogs to detect them in the Florida Everglades on March 23, 2021 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is using the dogs to sniff out Burmese pythons. A black lab named Truman and a point setter named Eleanor hunt five days a week with a dog handler and an FWC biologist to search for pythons on different public lands across south Florida. The FWC is implementing dog sniffing python hunters to help find and eliminate invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades ecosystem. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
I’ve talked multiple times about my snake phobia, so hearing that two Florida men wrangled a huge snake right by a mall in Miami has me squirming.
Local 10 reports that Albert Pardo was taking his dog Archie for a walk near the Dolphin Mall in Miami when Archie alerted him to a very large snake in a marshy area nearby.
Albert and Archie weren’t about to tackle this creature alone, so Albert called his friend Dr. Larin “because he has experience catching snakes.”
Dr. Alvaro Larin, a veterinarian, came to the rescue and did some wrestling with the Burmese python before a successful capture into a cooler before Florida Fish and Wildlife took it away.
