Monster Python: 17ft Snake Caught In Florida

The biggest Burmese python ever caught in Florida has been measured at 17ft and weighing 12st.

The snake was pregnant with 87 eggs - also said to be a record.
Scientists said the python's stats show just how pervasive the invasive snakes, which are native to Southeast Asia, have become in south Florida.
"It means these snakes are surviving a long time in the wild," said Kenneth Krysko, a snake expert at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Tens of thousands of Burmese pythons are believed to be living in the Everglades, where they thrive in the warm, humid climate.The snakes kill their prey by coiling around it and suffocating it. They have been known to swallow animals as large as deer and alligators.

Zaaki Azzay's 8 year marriage ends; wife claims years of battery

After 8 years and three children together, Zaaki Azzay's marriage to Hadiza Azzay has ended. The marriage actually ended four months ago but we are all getting to know about it now because the ex-couple are involved in a bitter custody battle. They police are even now involved.

29 year old Hadiza told me she packed out of her husband's house on April 17th after being badly battered the day before by Zaaki. She was able to leave with two of her children, but the third one, her eldest child is still living at home.

She said he had been battering her for years, sometimes he would beat her so much she would faint, but her family kept telling her to go back to him for the sake of their children. She said she left him twice last year but returned to him after much pressure from family and friends. But when the battery continued, she made up her mind to end her marriage for good because she didn't want to be another dead wife.

Hadiza was a housewife, so since leaving her husband she has been under the care of an NGO that takes care of battered women. They've given her and her children shelter and are taking up her case.

She will issue an official press statement telling her side of the story in the coming days...right now she's dealing with the police who arrested her for allegedly 'kidnapping' her own children. She says Zaaki has been using the police to harass her.
