Florida s reportedly crawling with up to 100,000 pythons gobbling up indigenous species, many of them pets released into the wild. this animal is about 13 feet. reporter: hunters gathering here from 30 states vying for the $1,500 pot for the longest snake. many of them bristling with guns but not so much knowledge. i hunt polar bear, brown bear. lions. reporter: lions? are those endangered? we teamed up with a more seasoned duo, matt bowser and jeff singleton hunting on harleys. but first a little python 101 with shawn heflik. it s a little brighter than it should be. if it just doesn t quite register, so you re looking for something that could look like maybe a log for a log in the everglades. reporter: that s easy to find. a herpatolojist, he s the country s first licensed python hunter. over this entire month, i would be floored if the total was 25 snakes. ....

A professional python hunter is here. good morning. i didn t know there was such a profession. apparently they need you in florida. what s going on down there? our native animals are kind of having a tough time even before the python, the encroachment of man has pushed them back. now we have a new apex predator in the mix, and they re just taking out a lot of our native wildlife. steve: in fact, in some spots around the everglades, there are no rabbits, no foxes, very few raccoons and bobcats. rodney, they think they can kind of trace it back to hurricane andrew; right? now these python are out of control and you need to harvest them. what happened 15 years ago or so? i was in homestead for hurricane andrew, it was the end of the world. because of the climate, we have breeding operations that breed not only snakes, but birds and a lot of other things. when hurricane struck, all of that was just blown ....

Away. there was a pretty big mass release of pythons. you add that to the people that bought a python as a pet, and two years later that pet bites them and they don t want to kill the pet, so they release him in the everglades. that s a real big problem. gretchen: here s the thing. this weekend you re going to be hunting these pythons. you don t decapitate them. what s the best way to try and catch them and actually get rid of them? well, it s kind of a touchy point. it must be donahue mainly. it must be done humanly. it can be done with a quick blast to the head with a weapon. if you take it to the veteran tphaeurpb as is an veterinarian which is an option he will likely drill at the base of the skull and scramble the brain. steve: the idea is to thin the herd python-wise. it kicked off over the weekend. i understand one of the things you ve got to be really careful when you re out there is to make sure ....

Of there. reporter: major problem with this invasive species is that pythons have no predators in florida. they are not natural animals and they can lay 30-70 eggs in one year. you see how they compound. the advice from hunters, either shoot it once in head or chop its head off. it s my understanding these pythons are enormous problem there. reporter: there only has been one study down in the everglades national park couple years ago. it was basically observations along the roadways. mammals spotted but the number of racoon and down 90% over the last 20 years and lot has been blamed on the python. you can get $1500 if you catch ....

You don t get bitten by a rattlesnake or something like that when you re looking for python? exactly correct. last summer i was chasing a python. it s really easy when you see a python, there s a lot of things that has to go through your mind at once. make sure you re on the line to intercept them. get yourself mentally prepared. it s easy to not be paying to what was s happening right at your feet. i was chasing a python and on my way back, in the same track i walked by a rattlesnake that would have really ruined my day. gretchen: the understanding, which should be important to mention, there is no natural predator for these pythons and that s why they need folks like you to go and do something about it. indeed. our native wildlife evolved without large constrictors in the ecosystem. they really don t have a natural fear of pythons. the learning curve is ....
