"Everyone said, you're stupid, you're nuts, crazy," said Rob Wessels, whose family bagged five snakes one evening in July with snake stalker Amy Siewe. "By the end of the night, we're so happy and excited."
"No experience is necessary to come on a hunt," Siewe said. "I have tons of people who have never even touched a snake before, and they're catching pythons. And then I have people that just want to watch me do it."
This summer, she's been out five nights a week in a specially equipped Ford Bronco outfitted with LED lights and an elevated stand that towers above the cab of the truck, helping her clients better survey the landscape.
For Siewe, guiding has also proven far more lucrative than just catching and trapping snakes as a state-certified python hunter.
