Hunters capture a Burmese python at the edge of the Everglades.
We spent several days shooting a wildlife reality show pilot, chasing reptile hunters in pursuit of Burmese pythons as they beat the bush along the edge of Everglades National Park. Hundreds of snakes were literally blown into the park when a nearby breeding facility was destroyed during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The snakes are in the news now because they have flourished in the South Florida climate and have begun to attack pets and farm animals as they forage into developed areas for food. Don’t be deceived by this picture, these snakes grow to six foot adults in 3 years and can reach 20+ feet and a girth in excess of 2 feet around by their sixth year, capable of eating a small deer.
