I knew it we gonna have to do it we got
to do we're gonna have to get your snake
in the dark
it's week three into the hunt for the
invasive Burmese pythons veteran Swamper
Bruce Mitchell and his partner Zack are
taking a buggy into a Cypress Swamp
rumored to be home to the largest snakes
in the world there have been recent
reports of a rare and terrifying monster
in the area the green anaconda anacondas
are twice as thick three times as strong
really I'm telling you a six-foot
anaconda is stronger than a 12-foot
Python the green anaconda is the largest
snake on earth a native of South America
the ambush predator can grow up to a
massive 30 feet and 550 pounds Bruce and
Zacks goal catch this serpent before it
breeds if we see this thing I don't know
what we're gonna do with it you do not
come across anacondas very often
honestly if we get something like this
this anaconda there it's worth my time
but bocce I think it's a Burmese Oh
let me getting around this tree I'm
stretcho Kenny Bruce and Zach are in a
fight with their first serpent of the
day

Bruce and Zack are racing against the
clock to get out of the swamp before

Jupiter right he's gonna stretch ain't
got time for this man today you are my
this Python is their second catch of the
day and makes up for their aborted
mission to capture the green anaconda so
proud of you you belong in Florida got a
move in with me
I think he's eating in the bag in
gaining weight getting heavy you might
be ready without a vehicle the weight of
these two captured serpents brings their
pace to a crawl at dusk a time when many
predators come out to feed that's
panther truck ain't no doubt in my mind
look how big they are man that's a big
kit the Florida panther is an ambush
predator that lives in the cypress
swamps an ideal environment for stalking
prey and look which way the pants are
going same way we're going the same way
we're going I don't like this at all
when you're out here they're open it's
spooky out here anything can jump on you
a snake can grab you a Panther can get
you a gator to grab you things ain't bad
enough now we're about Panther
let's not get too heavy dude let me help
you out I got man is that another one oh
my god right here hey hey oh let me hang
on a snake up be careful
oh he's right by you he's long oh wow
that's a big snake
you take the snake out of my hand I got
the flashlight - ah catch it - he almost
got me to tell for you baby
got him all day this 10-foot 95 pound
beast will net them another three
hundred seventy-five dollars we're
almost out of here just keep it moving
looking over there a big one
I'm talking about big huge man I'm not
kidding
Big C no it's right here somewhere
but time we set our snakes down you
don't see nothing I don't see anything
it's like Houdini you just disappeared
it was gone
are you sure you saw it this was the
Anaconda I knew it
look at that trail I only seen about
three foot of his tail look at a trail
but I know what it was because thickness
brushes under this grass we could step
right over it not even know I know he's
close got to be right here
it couldn't just disappear like that I'm
not kidding anything this big huge we
gonna have to do it we got to do we're
gonna have to get your snake in the dark
dude he's right there he is right there
dude
Oh what do we do
you have no idea
this is an anaconda dude
this is it yeah this thing is like 15 16
foot long this is really an anaconda
this is what people imagine that
constricts you takes you down underwater
this is what does it and this is not
even as big as they get this is about
half the size of a full-grown adult
anaconda and this is just immense it's
not bad
are you sure you don't even jumpin up
when you talk to you
why's it not attacking us man it's gotta
be like someone's pet or something when
I first seen this snake I didn't know
whether the grabbing pick him up but
then I started noticing I kind of
touched him and he didn't try to leave
like the pythons they souped up
therefore fly around and try to bite you
but this wouldn't didn't try to do that
so that's telling me this got to be
somebody's pet we just need to get it
out of here okay all right go ahead all
right all right I'll put him on your
shoulders ain't no way I can carry this
can you lift it over your shoulder I
think turning on me y'all I'm dropping
him down the anaconda constricts with a
force of more than 80 pounds per square
inch 10 times stronger than a Burmese
python dude that thing is so big I tried
a couple of time to get him up but he's
so powerful every time I go to pick him
up he would twist it and there's nothing
but a muscle and I really didn't want
him on my shoulder
I was scared he'd wrap around my neck
and once he wraps that's it you're gonna
be snake bait are we gonna carry this
thing I don't know their own way I know
we're gonna have to leave them and come
back and you okay Bruce Lee and I decide
to leave the snakes marked up along a
pretty decent trail so we'll be able to
find it that could eat my dogs and cats
that were you we're gonna come back in
the morning
head on back and catch them in a pet or
no pet though they come out here nice
like this yeah
one little nest every single one of
those babies are all wild
if it were meet up with another snake
and lay eggs this whole swamp would be
taking over and that's what you don't
want another invasive species down here
come on unlike pythons anacondas are
live born a female could give birth to
between 2 and 12 live snakes at once
averaging two feet in length all I know
is that Phil's probably gonna know what
to do with this now hope to come on
while there's no bounty on anacondas
removing this apex predator before it
breeds is crucial for saving the
Everglades all the way to the strip
don't stop
oh my god please don't bite us
was he grabbing on to be done wrap that
bumper go ahead go ahead
oh my god put it down
tail tail is good oh my god dude we did
it yeah that thing is heavy
look he fills up the whole truck well we
got the other snakes back in the swamp
in sacks tied up they can't get out so
tomorrow morning we'll go back and pick
them up
I can't wait for bill and Troy and chase
see this we did it buddy
you
