With python season in full frenzy...
-You saw that lightning? -We need to get outta here.
The battleground shifts...
-Shoot this thing in the head! -Oh!
The threats are deadlier than ever...
Get out of that log.
And hunters come face to face...
This ain't no regular python.
With the wrath of the super snakes.
Aah! Yeah!
-Oh! -Bill, Bill, there's one here!
In the western Glades,
Bill Booth and his partner Tes Lee
embark on a hunt in an area with an infamous history.
Back in the day, they came in
and dug all these canals in here to drain the swampland.
And, you know, they were successful in doing that,
but it disrupted the whole ecosystem down here.
Back in the forties and fifties,
they decided that they wanted to create
the world's largest subdivision.
And they were marketing it during the dry season
and selling it to people sight unseen,
and these poor people are buying Florida swampland.
In the middle of the 20th century,
speculators started a vast land development.
The project was eventually abandoned,
but the excavated canals
destroyed the natural flow of water through the Everglades.
The Army Corps of Engineers are just filling these canals in
just to the north of us,
and the plan is we wanna get just ahead of them
because they're clearing a lot of this brush out,
and this is where the pythons are.
The Army Corps of Engineers
are out here trying to repurpose this land
to give it back the life it had before,
and by doing that, they're forcing everything to move.
So everything is stirred up and is on edge.
-Let's go. -Let's do it.
Is all that I'm hearing?
Yeah, that's the equipment.
That's the machines pushing the canal in.
They're doing work.
They operate big bulldozers and track hoes and loaders
and stuff like that as they fill this canal in.
My thought is stay one step ahead of them.
And as they're moving forward
with their removal of brush,
just get one or two blocks ahead of 'em
and see if they've stirred up pythons and got 'em moving.
Bill has secured permission to hunt pythons in the area
for one day before the Army Corps of Engineers moves in.
He has set an ambitious goal of 10 snakes.
Totally different habitat than the swamp, isn't it?
That's what I'm saying.
It's crazy how diverse it is out here.
Yeah.
Man, it is dense in here.
Boy, it's like a jungle, isn't it?
My goodness.
Well, hopefully, it's gonna produce something for us.
Yeah.
In the high grounds of the western Glades...
P, we gotta find a place to get down that's not too, too nasty.
Oh, they got a little trail right there.
King of the Swamp Troy Landry and his partner Pickle Wheat
investigate a disturbing report.
There's no more wildlife here.
The birds are disappearing, all the mammals.
The small mammals are disappearing,
even the large mammals.
Over the past 24 months,
reports claim this secluded pocket of the Everglades
has seen a drastic decrease in its animal population.
While pythons are suspected, the speed of the decline
leads Troy to believe there may be something else at play.
I guarantee you, this is a stronghold for the super snakes.
These are the most aggressive snakes out here
out of all of them.
Wherever they get a stronghold, it's nothing but devastation.
Super snakes are created
by interbreeding Burmese and African Rock pythons.
The combination produces a vicious predator
that shares the aggression of the Rock python
and the Burmese python's ability to thrive in water.
What about just right there by that tree? Huh?
Watch. They got a limb coming out right here.
Watch where you're stepping 'cause it's kind of steep.
-Aah, Pee-wee. -Crazy bastard.
All right. Look right here.
-Look right here. -What?
Is that a bobcat?
It is definitely a cat, yeah.
It's most probably a bobcat, a young bobcat.
-Hmm. -You think a snake got that?
That's what it looks like, Pee-wee.
Where you at?
Over here.
Oh, snake, snake!
Oh, [bleep], look at this thing.
Whoo! [laughs]
Oh, my God.
What's that?
[bleep], snake, snake!
Look at the size.
Ooh.
She's very aggressive.
She knows to protect that tail.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!
Ay-yi-yi.
Mm-hmm-hmm. Oh! Thank you, Jesus.
Ahh. I thought I'd never catch this snake.
Climb that tree, baby.
You are so pretty.
She got some weird belly scales on her.
You a new kind of snake, huh?
Uh-uh, you ain't getting away from me.
Ooh.
God, that's pretty.
You are different. Hey, I know, I know.
These belly scales I ain't never seen before.
Hey.
Come check this out. I got something different.
Oh, yeah, I see what--
Oh, yeah. Look, it's got silver.
-What is that? -It's a hybrid.
It's a cross between a regular python and a Rock python.
These are a lot more dangerous.
They're a lot more aggressive.
I wanna check the one I just caught. See that?
Wow.
That's the same thing as yours.
Look at the silver.
Look at the silver and the pattern.
That's the same thing as yours.
Capturing two hybrid super snakes
confirms Troy's suspicion.
Super snakes are concentrated in this area.
These are real mean snakes.
That spells nothing but trouble for the Everglades.
Come on. We gonna have to stick together
and we gonna have to be more careful.
Further east...
Whew! Yeah!
Solo hunter Dusty Crum has a new idea
to make his job a little easier.
You know what? I've been running around
like a frickin' chicken with my head cut off.
Here, there, going to the frickin' swamps, you know.
Why not stay right here at home and work from home?
I'm gonna get that baby pointing right out into the woods.
I've got this secret weapon, this fawn distress call, son.
It's gonna drive the snakes in here, bud.
[squealing]
[laughs]
[squealing]
Snakes don't exactly have ears. You know what I mean?
But they can feel vibrations.
So if I crank that sucker up to 10, boy...
[squealing louder]
They'll feel the earth shaking.
It'll drive 'em right to me.
Whoo! They'll be coming any minute!
My plan is paying off already. I can feel it.
I mean, work frickin' smarter, not harder, son.
I'm gonna be sitting in the hammock,
drinking a frickin' lemonade, bud,
and the snakes are gonna come right to me, son.
Easy money.
[squealing]
30 miles away...
-The sun's coming up. -Mm-hmm.
Florida hunter Zak Catchem and his partner Bruce Mitchell
explore an area where pythons have been spotted.
Out here bright and early today, huh?
Yup. Snakes are by the river,
and they got alligators in the river,
so we really gotta watch that.
It's a dry riverbed. Still a little bit damp.
Look at the tracks out here.
What is that?
With the river like this,
there's no telling what we're gonna bump into.
But I know for a fact
that I wanna have my rod and reel on hand.
A rod and reel master...
I got one!
Zak used this method
to pull in seven gators
from the swamps of Louisiana last season alone.
Check this out, dude.
I know, they're everywhere through here. Look.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Look at all of 'em, Bruce.
They're all going straight across.
That's a big snake to make that big of a track, huh?
Yeah. It's only the belly rubbing.
Who knows how big they actually are?
Yeah, I know.
That could be a solid snake, dude.
I know. Let's go.
If we follow these guys, we're gonna find them.
Looks like they're all heading towards the river.
I know it winds through this property.
Hey! Hey, Bruce!
There's a snake right here, dude.
Bruce, come here.
I'm coming.
Check this thing out.
-In the northern Glades... -Bruce, Bruce, Bruce,
Bruce, Bruce, Bruce! Oh!
It's like a bullet.
They're a lot faster in the water, dude.
Watch that tail, watch out.
-Whoa! Whoa! -Hold on.
Whoa!
Look how fast that thing is.
-Grab him! -I'm trying.
Come on.
Aah!
-You all right? -Yeah, I'm all right.
They're fast as hell underwater, huh?
I got him, I got him, I got him.
Watch him.
Gonna have to grab this thing's head.
Whoo.
Come on, Bruce.
I got him, I got him, I got him.
Whoa! Watch him, watch him, watch him.
-Aah! -Watch him!
He almost got you, man.
Oh!
Come on.
Grab this sucker, man.
Right there, grab him.
-Heads up! -Whoa!
Get his attention. Let him look at you.
Come on.
-There you go. -Got him.
Look in my bag. I've got a sack.
Hold on. Stay right there.
-Man, you get 'em in this water, -No joke.
they'll put a whipping on you, huh?
A lot of people don't realize about these snakes
is how they swim.
A snake, it just triples his speed on the water.
They're like little bullets.
Big bullets actually.
Whew! They rough to catch in this water, ain't they?
-Yeah. -Oh!
Dude, look upriver, man.
Oh, God, that's a big gator.
-He's watching us. -Yeah, he is.
That's what we get for splashing out here.
I don't wanna get ate.
Absolutely not.
Let's get this thing up on land.
Let me get my rod, Bruce.
If we see that gator again, he's toast.
In a huge Everglades restoration project,
Bill and Tes have one day to capture 10 pythons.
Yeah, you can see where they filled these canals in.
Yeah, they're just patching in holes.
We're navigating throughout this forest,
kind of staying off the main roads.
We know that this construction that's happening
is moving the animals,
and if we can get right on the outside,
we might be able to find some pythons.
This is that canal they're filling in.
They filled most of it in,
and this is just like a little pond.
The gators a problem down here, too?
Nah, they're not a problem. There's a lot of 'em.
Crazy that there's so many of them
that've just been forced in this spot.
But they belong here.
All they've got left is a pond.
All right, it has definitely gotten more humid out here.
Oh, yeah.
Gonna get any pythons out here soon?
Let's keep looking.
Good Lord.
We're really not seeing a lot of life.
There's some bugs.
Short of some gators that are out on the side,
that's really it.
Bill, there's one right here. Bill!
Oh, he's going in that tree.
All right, get him to look towards you.
Oh, he is not happy.
Watch it.
He's hooked around that vine.
This place does not make it easy to hunt.
-Look at that. Ew! -Not at all.
Watch it, watch it.
I can barely see him in this stuff.
Aah!
It's so tight in here.
Mm-hmm.
Oh! Golly!
He is pissed off.
This is so hard in this thick, dirty stuff.
You can't get away from him.
Man.
Uh-oh, he's backing me into a corner.
He's gonna eat me alive.
Ooh!
He has got us cornered.
-Here, let me get his tail... -All right.
...if he doesn't bite my hand.
Aah!
Golly.
-Watch it. -Yeah, he's eyeballing you.
Be careful.
-You ready? -Yup.
Hurry.
Oh!
-Did he get you? -Yeah, he did.
I lost his head under here
because I didn't want him to bite you
and he bit my hand.
Oh, my gosh.
When you pick these snakes up and they're pissed,
man, they are mad.
They are trying everything in their power
to either get away or defend themselves or kill you.
This nine-footer is worth $300,
but with nine more snakes to go,
they can't let spilled blood slow them down.
Watch him, he's mad. [equipment beeping beyond]
-[laughs] -Gol.
Let's get out of here before those machines get us.
Yeah. That's the least of our worries.
After capturing two hybrid super snakes...
We getting back into that real dirty stuff.
Troy and Pickle are on high alert.
Always remember: The dirtier an area is,
the more they like it.
I know it's a jungle, but that's what they like.
Finding two of these mixed breed snakes in the same area,
it seems to make Mr. Troy think
that there's a Rock python
that seems to be having these snakes.
I feel like I'm just on edge the whole time.
You have to be, Pee-wee. You have to be on edge.
We've caught African Rock pythons in the past,
and let me tell you something, they are nothing to play with.
Them things are dangerous.
Uh!
Aah! Chase, watch it! Ay-yi-yi!
I wouldn't want to catch a big one by myself.
Look, look, there's a trail right there. Come see.
Look at the trail right here.
See that old rotten stump?
That's what they like.
They get in there and they wait for a squirrel.
They wait for a mouse or a rat or a raccoon.
-Rotten area. -Look at the trail.
Look at the trail. You see it going through there?
Yeah, I see it.
Gotta be right here somewhere.
-Oh, look, look, right here. -Where? Where?
Oh, watch him, watch him.
It's getting away. Look.
Watch it, over here, watch it.
Oh, [bleep].
Where'd it go? Damn it.
-Where'd she go? -I don't know.
Look at that hole right there. That's where she went in.
-Son of a gun. -Damn.
You think it was that Rock python?
I don't know.
It looked like it had a little different color to it,
but I didn't see it long enough to tell for sure.
In the back of my mind, I was thinking it was a Rock python,
but it got away so I couldn't tell for sure.
I don't like it.
Boy, that was close.
Looking at the color on the belly,
it could be one of them hybrid snakes or super snakes.
Meanwhile, Dusty surveys his camp
hoping to find pythons lured by his distressed deer call.
Man, I'm not seeing nothin',
nothin' that ain't supposed to be here, you know.
I'm just not seeing nothin'.
And I don't have a lot of patience,
but I just gotta push through and keep looking.
My grandpappy used to always tell me,
son, you gotta work smarter, not harder.
Oh!
There he goes. Dang it, dang it.
Aah. Oh.
Dude, that sucker found a hole or something.
Aah! Dang it.
I don't know. I swear I seen something.
Am I seeing something?
Whew. Whew.
Where you at, girl? Where you at, girl, huh?
That's how it goes, man. You just--
Ooh, there she is. There she is, boy.
Ooh.
Uh-huh.
Aah!
What's up? Huh?
Yeah, come on.
Oh!
Dang it, she's covering herself up, though.
Give me that.
There.
[mutters, indistinct]
Come on, baby, come on. You ready?
I'm gonna get you. You ready? Huh?
You come to the house, bring the boys to the yard?
One, two, three. Aah!
Whoo! Huh?
I got you, big girl.
Mm-hmm. Gonna get you.
A single python may not prove the audio trickery is working,
but Dusty is optimistic.
My secret weapon, son.
It's gonna get everything stirred up.
You just feel it in the air.
Them snakes are coming out right now.
It's their time to shine.
That's it. Whoo!
Further north...
[bird squawks] He's taking off.
Something spooked him over there.
Bruce and Zak have spotted python trails crossing a river,
but a major threat stands in their way.
Look, look, look. Zak, bubbles in the middle.
That gator's right here. He's watching us.
We need to go catch him before it gets dark.
I don't wanna be crossing this stuff at night
with that big gator in there.
Uh-uh. Gators are really smart.
They're gonna wait for you to come back
to smack you at nighttime.
That's just how it is. That's what they do.
They hunt at night.
It's not something you wanna see
when you're carrying a bunch of snakes
out of the Everglades.
If we can catch him today,
we can get this bad boy away from us,
and we can safely cross the river back at night.
Work your magic, man.
To eliminate the dangerous beast,
Bruce and Zak have secured an alligator tag
from the property owner.
Oh, he's headed into those damn weeds.
What you thinking, man?
No, I know where he's at. He's right here.
Stay on!
[grunting]
There he is.
Come on. Get the big hook, Bruce.
Come on, man, move.
I got the rope right here.
This thing is a monster.
Hold that tight.
All right.
I got him, Zak.
He's gonna come up, he's gonna come up.
He's gonna come up, dude.
You got it. Set it hard, set it good.
Get your gun out.
-Get your gun out. -Okay.
Hurry up!
Shoot this thing! Bruce, shoot him!
Shoot this thing in the head. Hurry up!
[gunshot]
There we go. Hey.
[laughs]
With this beast removed, Zak and Bruce
can hunt pythons across the river without fear.
[both laugh]
He's still haunting us, ain't he?
-Yes, he is. -But I tell you what.
He's not gonna bite us tonight, is he?
No, he's not.
I'm not worried about crossing the creek no more.
As big as this gator is,
I know there ain't gonna be nothin' else.
No, he spooked everything else away.
He run everything out of here.
Let's go catch our snakes, dude.
I hear you, bro.
We don't need this no more.
No. See if we can catch some snakes, buddy. Whoo!
They'll pick up the gator on their way out,
but first it's time to hunt pythons.
Meanwhile...
Oh, Pee-wee, they got trails all over in here, huh?
After confirming the presence of super snakes,
Troy and Pickle are on a mission to clear them out.
I've never seen so many snake trails in my life.
The thicker the brush, the more trails they have.
There's more hybrid snakes right here than anywheres else.
This is where they got a stronghold.
I don't know if it's big females or big males,
but they got a colony of 'em right here.
Oh, Pee-wee, Pee-wee, look over here.
Look, look, look, look. Look right here.
Look at the tail. Ooh!
-Look how big. -Oh, my God.
Okay, make him look at you.
Ooh!
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
You gotta get his attention.
Oh!
-In a super snake hotspot... -Ooh!
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
You gotta get his attention.
Sure, sure, I can do that.
Oh!
All right, Pee-wee, come on.
Get his attention, make some noise.
She's feisty.
Look, there you go.
She's looking at me. Get her, get her, get her.
Oh, yeah.
Whew!
What you think about this one?
Definitely not a Rock python. This is another hybrid,
-I guarantee you. -Mm-hmm.
This area is infested with them hybrid snakes.
They all hybrids here, huh?
When you got snakes breeding with different types of snake,
you don't know what you're gonna encounter.
You don't know if they got
the aggressiveness of the Rock pythons.
You just don't know what to expect.
And it's already a disaster for the Everglades,
and this could be even worse.
We not gonna split up no more while we in this area.
-Too dangerous. -Okay.
We're gonna stick together.
All right.
-All right, you ready? -Yeah.
Straight that way.
In a wetlands restoration area,
Bill and Tes still need five pythons
to get to their 10-snake goal.
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of stuff out here.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. See? Loaders.
And so this was all, like, the water,
and they've just been filling it in?
Oh, yeah, watch. Look up here.
See ahead, water everywhere.
These guys are just about finishing up.
See those big brush piles over there?
And you think snakes are just all around this perimeter?
Yeah. The guys that run the dozers here
say that they're, you know, they're pushing this stuff up
and pushing it in and filling this canal in,
and they're finding pythons out there.
-I bet. -Yeah.
This restoration site
is basically just a big pit of mud right now.
We've seen other areas where the earth has healed itself
and plants have grown back over
and animals are assuming that land.
Right now where these machines are, it's just dirt.
Let's get out and check this out over here.
Look at this. What's this?
What's all this?
-See anything in there? -Nah.
Huh.
These woods just go and go and go.
Look, there's a snake right there.
-What? What? -Right there, Tes.
-You see one? -Yeah, right here.
-Where? Where? -Right here. Look.
-Look at this. -Oh, whoa.
-He's facing me. -Okay, okay, so...
you want me to grab his tail?
Yeah. See if you can get him.
-Oh! -Bill, look out.
Don't let him get you, don't let him get you.
Yeah, hold on to his tail.
Yeah, I got him.
Oh! He almost got me there.
-Don't let him get you. -He might come after you.
-You got him? You got him? -Oh, I dropped him.
-He's getting all up in it. -Watch your fingers.
Whoa! He's all up in the sticks.
Yeah. Let me try and get him back a little bit. Ooh!
Where's he going?
Oh, my God!
There he goes.
All right. I'm gonna try to grab him.
Yeah, it's hard to get 'em when they're facing you like that.
Aah!
-Trying to get away from us. -Aah!
All right, pull him so I can grab him.
Oh!
Here...
Here, you wanna grab the tail.
-I'll come and distract him. -Okay.
Unless you think you can get him.
-I think I can get him. -If I can get him to turn.
Get him towards you? You ready?
Good job. My God, good shot.
-That was a good shot. -He's beautiful.
This nine-footer is worth $300,
but with the sun setting soon,
they only have a few hours to make their goal.
We're starting to get into big numbers.
Five, six, seven pythons in the bag.
Looking for the real big one and haven't got that one yet.
[thunder]
We better pick up the pace.
-You hear that? -Oh, yeah.
The rain's a-comin'.
[thunder]
The Everglades receives over 60 inches of rain a year.
Much of it falls between June and August.
To have a chance at reaching their goal,
Bill and Tes cannot afford to wait out the storm.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.
Let's just keep going.
24 miles south,
Troy and Pickle look for cover.
Right over there, Pee-wee.
Oh, right here.
Right over there.
Come on, hurry.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Hurry, Pee-wee, hurry.
Ooh, watch for the snakes in here.
Watch for the rattlesnakes.
Yeah, watch for snakes.
You might be sitting on one, huh?
Yeah, this is a rattlesnake haven.
Jesus.
It's coming down now, Pee-wee. We made it just in time, huh?
[laughs] I think we did, yeah.
[thunder]
Whoo! You hear that thunder?
-Oh, yeah. -Mm!
Whoo!
Riding out another thunderstorm, huh?
Oh, yeah.
The life of a snake and alligator hunter.
That's it. [laughs]
Hiding underneath palmettos.
Been there, done that.
Oh, yeah.
50 miles north...
Keep following this river.
Yup, I think you're right.
I'm still worried about them alligators, though, out here.
The storm is yet to arrive,
but after hours spent removing a dangerous gator,
Zak and Bruce have fallen behind.
With weather coming in,
we just need to hunt fast, grab what we can grab,
and just head out
before the terrain gets a little bit too treacherous.
Storm's moving in. We better hurry up.
Bruce, snake right here, buddy.
Ooh, golly.
He's tucked down in this hole, man.
Where's his head?
His head's tucked down in there.
Come on, he's getting in the hole.
-I got his tail. -There you go.
-Pull him out. -Whoa.
-Pull him out, pull him out. -Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
Man, you gonna grab him or what?
Tire him out, dude.
This thing was in a hole.
I'm already tired.
-Come on, man. -Grab it, grab it, grab it.
-Now we gotta tire him out. -I got him. He's tired.
Aah!
You gonna grab him or what?
-Whoa. -You'd be surprised, man.
He's not ready yet.
Yeah, get him. Come on, Zak.
[thunder] In the northern Everglades...
-Aah! Come on, dude! -Zak and Bruce
confront an angry serpent.
-Aah! -He's so fast.
That's because he's small.
Wait, wait, wait. Golly.
Wait, wait, wait. Come on.
Man, he almost got me.
Dude, you grab him.
Give me his tail, dude.
-Got it? -Yeah.
You better not let that thing go.
Whoa! Get him.
Whoa! Dude.
-Almost got him. -Almost got me.
Good shot, man.
Whoo!
-All right. -Grab me a bag, Bruce.
Another one. I got a bag right here.
With five pythons bagged,
this may not be Bruce and Zak's best day,
but they're staying positive.
The weather's closing in.
We're gonna get out of here with what we got.
We might catch a few on the way out.
We got a long way to carry these snakes out,
but it is what it is.
We had a pretty good day.
-Yeah. -Whew.
Just walk it out, buddy.
Go ahead, man. I'm following you.
We better hurry up,
and we still gotta carry that big old alligator.
41 miles south...
Where you at? Where you at?
Dusty has captured five pythons around his camp,
and he's convinced there can be only one reason.
It's that fawn call, son.
They're frickin' coming right to me.
Ooh, frickin' killing it tonight, boy.
Them snakes, they're landing in here
like planes in the frickin' New York airport, bud.
I gotta keep my eyes open.
Come on, come on, where you at?
I know there's more of 'em.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
There he is, there he is, there he is.
Right there.
Look at this sucker, boy.
He's in this frickin' log.
Yeah, he's pushing back in there now.
Whoo!
There's his head right there. Get it out of there.
I guess I could just take the log.
Whoo! There he is.
It's a big one.
Get out of that log, huh?
Whoo-ooh!
Thought you had a hidey hole in there, huh, bud?
Oh!
Whoo!
Gotcha.
Oh, yeah.
Whoo! That's how we do it, baby.
With half a dozen bagged serpents,
Dusty hauled in almost $1,300,
and he saved himself the commute.
Work from home, that's a dream come true for me, son.
And I think really the secret weapon,
that fawn call, it brought 'em right in right away.
I might've bit off more than I can chew with this one, son.
I might just be overrun with frickin' snakes,
and that's money in the bank.
It's like taking a horse to the water.
You don't bring the water to the horse.
To the west, with the rainstorm over
and one python left to capture,
Bill and Tes split to cover more ground.
Just scream if you need me.
-Okay, don't get lost. -Oh, I won't.
This is not a place that either of us are familiar with,
but I'm confident in walking through the dark by myself
and, you know, do a little hunting along the way.
Holy crap!
Where is it? Okay.
Goodness.
Oof!
[gasps]
Man, it'd really be nice to have Bill out here right now.
There's one right here.
Oh, yeah.
Nice and good.
Boy, he's buried up in this grass.
This is how you get bit right here.
Oh, yeah. Feisty one.
I just can't get him out of this grass.
Where's my helper when I need her?
Oh! [gasps]
Man, I don't know how I'm gonna catch this thing by myself.
Come on, buddy, look over here.
Gotta get your head.
This is not easy with just one person.
I can't even see his head right now,
and I'm afraid I'm gonna get bit.
-Alone in the dark... -Oh!
Tes fights a feisty serpent.
Yeah, I see you.
You're not getting away.
Where's your head, where's your head?
Aah!
[bleep].
This is a lot harder as one person, that's for sure.
Ooh.
Aah! [breathing hard]
Whew!
This is so much harder with just one person.
Whew!
Hey, Bill, where you at?
I see you.
Oh!
I gotta wear him down a little bit.
He's feisty as hell.
Oh!
All right, I'm gonna catch him...
right now.
All right, here we go.
[chuckles]
Thank God I got that one.
With this pair of serpents,
Bill and Tes surpass their ambitious goal of 10 snakes
and contribute to the restoration of this area.
Becoming a good hunter,
you gotta go out there and have a strategy in mind.
But you gotta play your cards right.
We came up with an idea, we went with it,
and caught a bunch of snakes.
Tes?
Where are you?
-Tes! -Bill?
What you doing, girl?
[laughs]
-You got one? -You got one, too?
-Oh, hell, yeah. -Yeah, man.
For a solo catch, I'm pretty proud of myself.
I'm proud of you, too, girl.
Bill hit the nail on the head with coming out here.
All in all, I think it's been a great day.
Let's go drop these things at the rig and call it a day.
It's that way.
Meanwhile...
Look at this trail, Pee-wee.
Look like it's getting fresher and fresher.
Uh-huh.
Troy and Pickle search for a breeding female
that may have spawned a colony of hybrid super snakes.
We following this trail, and it's fresh,
so we not far behind this snake.
I'm not saying nothing to Pee-wee,
but I can tell by the slide it's a big snake.
I don't like when it gets dark.
I can't see my feet, you know?
Yeah. You almost step on 'em before you see 'em.
Oh, dude, look, look, look. Right here.
What? Oh, my God.
Oh, watch him, Pee-wee, watch him.
-Oh! -Oh!
Watch him, he's coming after you.
Pee-wee, this ain't no regular python.
Look.
I don't even know what to do right now.
Pee-wee, look at the size of this thing.
Oh, be careful.
If this thing bites one of us,
we gonna wind up in the hospital.
Okay, P, grab the tail.
-You think she's pregnant? -Could be.
Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Aah!
There you go, there you go, there you go.
Oh, my God.
This is one of them super snakes.
Ay-yi-yi!
Oh, [bleep]!
Pee-wee, don't let it turn on you.
There you go.
Perfect, perfect, right there.
Oh, my God. Please, Lord, help me.
-Get him, get him. -Aah!
-Dude. -Whoo!
This thing is a monster.
I think this is one of them super snakes.
You wanna try to fit it in the sack?
-We can try. -I don't think
she's getting in there. Uh-uh.
This girl right here,
I don't know if it's because she's pregnant
with all these eggs or what it is,
but she is showing me what these super snakes are all about.
-Oh, my God. -Oh, dude.
For the time being, removing this monster
will stop the expansion of the super snakes.
You good?
You know how far we gotta walk with this thing?
But this fight is only beginning.
Straight this way?
Yeah, let's go try to find the boat.
Oh, my God.
Listen, we gotta walk slow
because if we trip with this big thing...
She's freaking heavy, huh?
-Heavy? -What?
Heavy ain't the word. Ha!
