PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Cats have been disappearing in one Port St. Lucie neighborhood so when Sergeant John Holman was called to the 600 block of SE Faith Terrace Friday morning for a report of another deceased cat, he made a startling discovery.
Hiding in some brush, Sgt. Holman spotted a 12-foot long 120-pound Burmese Python.
Neighbors believe the large snake has been feasting on their felines.
The Sergeant called for backup to help get the large predator from the brush.
Cops say the snake belongs to a person who lives near by. No charges have been filed as of yet.
It is illegal to own a python in the state of Florida without a F.W.C. permit, license.

That’s adorable but you need to face reality.
If it got a grip on them, it’d be all over.
I’m sure many of the already eaten cats were “bad asses”, too.
Apex predator.
[AKA: Poi Dogs, in Hawaii.]
Poi Dogs just happens to be the name of a golf team at Hilo Muni.
In the native countries of large constrictors, cats as prey is not unusual.
It's nature.
Just shoot it. Unfortunately, there are now thousands of Burmese pythons and a bunch of other non-native large herps which are decimating Florida wildlife and pets. I would not have hesitated to shoot that snake.
Banh miaow?
It's not a dog.
