Brave 16-Year-Old Nabs Stray Python in Neighbor’s Yard

When a 10-foot long python appeared in a Florida backyard, 16-year-old Onya Golightly came to the rescue. The unflappable teen was as cool as a cucumber as she held the large reptile below its head. Her dad, Daniel, helped her put the snake into a bag. Onya believes the snake was someone’s pet, and that the owner may have released it into the wild. She and her dad turned the python over to Florida Fish and Wildlife.
