You'll be riding high on the Snake Deck of her custom truck, accessing prime python territory that's usually off-limits.

Inside the Hunt

When you roll up to meet Amy, the adrenaline starts pumping right away. She'll give you a quick rundown on python behavior and the best ways to spot these masters of camouflage. Then it's time to load up on her specially outfitted truck, complete with the elevated Snake Deck that gives you a bird's eye view of the terrain. As you cruise through the Everglades, Amy shares war stories from her years of python hunting and points out telltale signs of snake activity. The real fun starts when you spot your first python. Amy will walk you through the proper (and safe) way to approach and capture these powerful constrictors. It's a hands-on experience - you'll be right in the thick of it, helping to bag and tag any pythons you find. Just remember, these aren't your garden variety snakes - Burmese pythons can grow over 15 feet long and weigh more than 100 pounds!

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Python hunting is all about keen observation and knowing where to look. Amy will teach you to scan for subtle disturbances in the grass and how to distinguish a python's scales from the surrounding foliage. You'll be covering a mix of terrain, from grassy swampland to dense brush. The Snake Deck gives you a major advantage, letting you see over the tall grass where pythons often hide. Amy's truck is kitted out with special lights for night hunting, which is when pythons are most active. You'll learn to use tools like snake hooks and bags for safe capture. The key is to stay alert - pythons can strike fast when cornered. But with Amy's expert guidance, you'll quickly get the hang of spotting and nabbing these elusive invaders.

Target Game Breakdown

Burmese pythons are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These massive snakes are an ecological nightmare in the Everglades, gobbling up native wildlife at an alarming rate. They're ambush predators, lying in wait to snatch up everything from rabbits to full-grown deer. Pythons are incredibly adaptable, which is why they've thrived so well in Florida. They can grow to monstrous sizes - the state record is over 18 feet long! The biggest python Amy's ever caught was a 17-footer weighing in at 110 pounds.

Summer is prime python hunting season. The hot, humid weather brings the snakes out to bask and breed. You're most likely to spot them near water sources or along the edges of roads and levees. Female pythons can lay up to 100 eggs at a time, which is why controlling their population is so crucial.

What makes hunting pythons so exciting is their sheer size and power. When you're face-to-face with a 15-foot snake, your heart really starts racing. But there's also the satisfaction of knowing you're helping to protect Florida's native species. Every python removed from the wild is a win for the local ecosystem.
