All four boys went out last night with no luck. George and Ruben were up bright and early this Sunday morning and came out on top. They not only caught one but THREE pythons while out with a New York Times videographer. It is always stressful taking people out hunting, you just never know what you'll find. So ending the day with three in the bag was amazing! Not bad for the second day of the Python Challenge.

Well the boys made it in a newspaper up in Jacksonville. Check it out Here.

Ruben Ramirez

His passion for snakes was love at first bite when a corn snake bit him when he was eight-years-old. A few years later he began snake hunting and has carried on for the past 27 years. Since then, he has become a licensed Florida python hunter and spends much of his free time removing the invasive pythons, tegus and other species from the region. His secret to his success? "Think like a snake if you want to find one." We have yet to find a road that he hasn't traveled or a territory that this South Florida native hasn't explored.

Brian Russ

He grew up playing barefoot in the woods of Central Florida. "I was the kid who had to touch everything," He says, "Now when I see an animal, I feel like I have to get a hold of it." He's always been fascinated with animals & preferred watching nature shows over cartoons as a kid. Catching lizards has now grown into wrestling alligators & pythons. Bryan has a deep knowledge of Florida's native and invasive wildlife. He loves it & enjoys passing that passion on to his children. Bryan lives in the Everglades east of Naples, FL with his wife & four "active" kids. Bryan & Blake are brothers.
