The Wildman and Career
In the docuseries, invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades are captured and tamed by Dusty “The Wildman” Crum and his crew, who work without shoes all the time. When Borges and her mother learned that Crum’s squad had an opening, they were sipping wine together. Her mother encouraged her to apply in jest. Before joining Crum’s crew, Borges had never gone python hunting.
She remarked, “I never thought they’d really pick me.” Since their introduction into the Everglades through the exotic pet trade in the 1970s, the invasive snakes have devoured their way through, destroying local wildlife populations in the process. Many Burmese pythons can grow to a maximum length of 12 feet, and some can even reach nearly 20 feet. Tens of thousands are thought to reside in the state.
Borges is a mystery in many respects. She knows that hunting pythons is for the greater good, so that’s the only kind of hunting she will engage in. Her teammates will handle the killing; she would rather catch the pythons.
Borges remarked, “I really can’t kill them; I love animals so much.” Just last month, she accidentally murdered her first python out of need. After the ordeal, she claimed to have cried.
The most merciful method to kill a python, according to Borges, was for one of her teammates to stab it in the back of the skull. It was being measured, presumably dead, when it abruptly leaped off the table. Borges remarked, “I had to quickly stab it again and re-catch it.” “You have to scramble its brains back and forth when you stab it.”
This twisted method is known by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) as “brain destruction,” which sounds like the moniker of a metal band. According to Borges, the goal of her python hunting squad is to euthanize the snakes as quickly and humanely as possible. Since pythons can survive for up to an hour after being decapitated, she claimed that many hunters would lop off the head, which is thought to be brutal by experienced hunters.
“Although not the recommended method of euthanizing pythons, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) considers cranial concussion (stunting) by skilled personnel followed by decapitation an acceptable method of killing large snakes if immediately followed by brain destruction,” reads the FWC website.
About a month ago, according to Borges, she had one of her most memorable interactions with pythons. Guardians of the Glades, season two, episode four, features the incident.
“Usually they fight back, but when you catch them, they realize they have no choice but to relax,” the woman said. “As we’re putting it in the bag, this one that I held by the head starts to poke its tongue out at me. I glance at it and protrude my tongue in response. After that, he attempted to attack my face. Even if Borges “accidentally” became interested in python hunting, he is happy to contribute to the solution. In just two years, Borges remarked, “I’ve learned so much about the land we live on and the threats it faces.”
