Iguanaland brings olive python into Gulf Coast News studio

FORT MYERS, Fla. —

Iguanaland in Punta Gorda is known as the world's largest reptile zoo. On Monday, they brought a special guest into the studio.

Joe Pace, one of Iguanaland's reptile handlers, brought an olive python into the studio.

Pace has two tips if you see any reptile in the road: First, "always help them". Second, make sure to keep them going in the same direction. If you turn them around, they will just turn back around on their own.
