The Florida Everglades are under siege. An invasion of Burmese pythons is decimating this natural wonder of the South. Entire species of animals are being wiped out. Aggressive, ravenous and incredibly fast-breeding, these pythons have no natural predator to stop them… except for man.
Invasive Burmese pythons are taking over the Florida Everglades and devouring everything in sight. The only way to stop them is to call in the nation’s best swampers: King of the Swamp Troy Landry, his son Chase, legendary gator hunter Bruce Mitchell, and big fish wrangler Zak Bagby. Together with professional snake hunter Bill Booth, the men dive into the underbelly of the Everglades to capture and remove the sinister beasts.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Zak breakdown in the middle of a swamp that’s rumored to be home to the largest serpent in the world–the green anaconda.
As the hunters face their final week in the Everglades, Troy and Chase protect a remote community from an aggressive gang of alligators. Then, the swampers join forces to track down a deadly hybrid python. Will they be able to stop the rise of the super snakes’
