Amy Siewe (Python Huntress)

I don't like that I have to kill them, but it is a necessary thing.

I have a tremendous respect for them and I know a lot about them.

A lot of people don't want to do this.

Mammal extinction is a big one.

98% of the mammals are gone in parts of the Everglades because the pythons have eaten them.

So they're the apex predator.

They eat rats, rabbits, bobcats, deer, gators.

Wait, deer?

So there was a breeding facility that was actually breeding the pythons for pets.

Hurricane Andrew came through in 92 and blew it away and sent 900 pythons to the same general vicinity of the Everglades.

There's an estimated 500,000 of them out there now.

Yep.

Once I learned that there was a python problem down here, I came down, went on a hunt, I caught a nine footer, and I was hooked.

It's like, I can actually use this passion that I have to help Florida with this epic problem.

I mean, why don't you come on a hunt with me and we can see how this all works out.

Oh, I'm like...

Dave, this is, I'm not saying this right now, okay?

Python!

But I also, so I break for snakes.

We have to kill the pythons.
