Guardians of the Glades

The team concentrates on the islands that border Snake Bight Bay, intent on stopping the snakes from causing widespread damage across southern Florida's ecosystems. Their mission centres on protecting the region from the reptiles' potential to ravage the local environment. At the same time, Brittany's preparing to embark on her very first personal hunt, taking the initiative to organise and lead the operation herself. This marks her inaugural attempt at directing a hunt, adding a new dimension to the team's overall effort. The group works together, coordinating patrols and surveillance across the archipelago to make sure the snakes can't spread unchecked. Their combined efforts aim to safeguard the coastal communities and wildlife from the looming threat.

The drop in temperature compels Dusty and his crew to alter their approach, forcing them to abandon the original plan and adopt new methods better suited to the chill. As the cold seeps in, they must rethink their movements and equipment to keep the mission viable. The frost makes navigation harder, and the team must conserve energy while staying alert. Shortly afterwards they cross paths with a familiar foe from their past. This unexpected meeting throws the group off course, disrupting the search and causing them to lose momentum as they grapple with the rival's interference. The rival’s sudden appearance brings old tensions back, further complicating their objectives.

When winter sets in, the breeding pythons are forced to descend into the earth, taking refuge in a sprawling network of underground passages that become increasingly hostile as the temperature falls. The operation then focuses on this dangerous maze of tunnels, and the team doesn't limit itself to a single method, deploying an assortment of tactics— from careful surveillance to hands‑on extraction— to lure the snakes out of their hidden chambers and bring them back to the surface. The harsh cold not only drives the reptiles deeper but also makes the tunnels more hazardous, increasing the difficulty of any rescue attempt. As a result, the crew must stay flexible, shifting between various approaches as conditions evolve.
