Professional python hunter Mike Kimmel can be seen in this video rescuing a python snake in the Florida Everglades on June 15, joined by Jack Hubbard, who came along to try to overcome his childhood fear of snakes. Photos from Jack Hubbard show an eight-foot slithery python gripping onto a man's arms after the big catch. Slithering, indeed!Show more

This is the horrifying moment, professional snake hunter catches a long python with such an ease, while the serpent is trying to escape. Footage has emerged from Florida of a huge python moving around through the grass at night, before hunter Kimmel defeats his feisty nature and bags it up. It is surprising that it took only one man to capture the python, this man has got some skills! The professional hunter is peacefully holding the snake on the neck and tail, while the slithering beast is trying to escape his grip.

This video was recorded by Jack Hubbard who was helping Kimmel to try to conquer the feisty beast. Starting in July, python hunters will be able to search for invasive burmese pythons in Everglades National Park.

A snake enthusiast spends his spare time wrestling and capturing huge pythons in the wild. Since he was little, Kimmel was fascinated by snake hunting and now visits the Florida Everglades four times a week to remove some of the 15,000 Burmese pythons that now call it their home. He definitely has a way with snakes, but watching him handle the crawling beast, we admit we stopped breathing for a moment! What a spooky encounter!

Since the year 2000, pythons have been officially recognised as an invasive species and have effectively colonised parts of the Florida Everglades National Park. Once caught, he hands most of the pythons over to the state authority for euthanisation and research. But he also keeps some of the snakes for his educational facility which he runs from his home. This video gives an impressive oversight of Kimmel's routine, and shows how he makes the catch. Amazing!

A curious footage has emerged of a long serpent slithering through the grass at night, before being captured by a professional python hunter. Watch the tense moment and close encounter this professional has with the snake, avoiding the sudden snake-attack while managing to keep his cool and retreat his hand just in time before he captivates the snake into a bag. His friend, the man who films the video, gets the courage to hold the snake and conquer his fear, as if it was a piece of cake. We didn’t hear any screams which is weird given the scary predicament he was in, that’s why we want to take a moment a praise him! Talk about bravery and nonchalant behavior!

Snakes can be anywhere, from the arid deserts of Australia to the tropical backyards of Florida residents. Those who are unfortunate enough to be bitten by snakes have described agonizing snake bite symptoms such as difficulty breathing, vomiting and nausea, numbness, and organ failure. And even thought here is an anti-venom which has been responsible for the survival of many, if not treated, bites from venomous snakes can still claim lives. From Russell’s Viper to the Black Mamba, there are many venomous snakes. And just to be clear, most if not all venomous snakes are not out to get you. More often than not, they just want to be left alone. A desire that you should heed if you ever come across one. That is if you value your life.

Ever wondered what’s the most poisonous snake in the world? Technically snakes aren’t poisonous rather their venom kills you. Some of the most dangerous bites are known to come from snakes. Although not all snakes are venomous, the ones that are may have the potential to inflict a death sentence within 30 minutes. This is the power of one of the world’s most venomous animals.
