shocked tourists film Tommy Owen jumping into the water n grabbing the snake before his partner slices its head off.

Tour guide wrestled a 10ft python to its death after “ambushing” it in front of a boat-load of tourists and performing what he described as “snake jujitsu”.

The astonishing battle was captured on video by holidaymakers who watched as Tommy Owen tackled the Burmese python, one of Florida’s most dangerous species.

Mr Owen, 26, fought with the snake for several minutes before holding it still long enough for his partner, Warren Wortman, to cut its head off.

They were travelling with the tourists when the snake was spotted.
