00:00 - I can see it. - I can see it.
00:01 - Really? - Okay, hold on.
00:02 It's big.
00:03 Eyes play tricks on you because anything that's brown,
00:10 you think is a python.
00:11 Meanwhile, there's logs down here,
00:12 there's sticks, branches, what else?
00:15 And it can just cruise through, and we can't.
00:18 There's a lot of problems here.
00:19 Obviously, the ground's really uneven.
00:21 This doesn't help.
00:23 And the snake could be here.
00:24 It can spot us first,
00:25 which means it could bite at any point.
00:27 Rock pythons don't have venom.
00:30 Instead, they have over 100 backward-facing teeth
00:33 that could grapple onto my arm or leg.
00:35 They lacerate and tear into flesh,
00:37 leaving a shocking wound that's full of bacteria.
00:40 Once it's latched on, the python's thick, muscular body
00:43 can start to wrap around me,
00:45 crushing my ribs and exerting so much force
00:48 that my blood pressure could go through the roof,
00:50 organs start to fail,
00:52 and I could die of a heart attack.
00:57 The last thing you want is to be bitten by a 15-foot python.
01:01 - Big holes that go down.
01:03 - Especially here, these holes.
01:05 And then it drops right down.
01:07 - Does it? - Yeah.
01:08 This is really deep, eh? - I know.
01:10 - About six foot or so of logs might be underneath it,
01:14 but, gosh, I don't know where you'd start.
01:17 - Could be anywhere now.
01:19 - These workers have got machetes, pangas, weed whackers.
01:22 They've got some serious tools there.
01:23 I'd hate for this python to be injured or killed.
01:25 We need to find it as quickly as possible.
01:28 It's probably under this lot here.
01:30 But there's big, massive trees.
01:32 It's all hollow underneath.
01:34 - Could go anywhere. - I don't know where it's gone.
01:37 - The guys keep saying they keep seeing it in the same spot
01:39 pretty close each time.
01:40 Maybe there's a hole or a tunnel
01:42 somewhere we haven't seen yet where it's hiding away.
01:45 - So many holes, Simon. - I know.
01:48 - Thorny stuff. - If you place it on top of old trees,
01:50 then it's grown over the top. - I know.
01:52 - So try and have a look in between them all.
01:53 - Another big hole here.
01:55 - Could be lying in there. - Simon, I've got it.
01:56 - You can see it? - I can see it.
01:57 - Really? Okay, hold on. - It's big.
01:59 - I'm stuck for a minute. Hold on.
02:00 - How did he get in there?
02:01 He's here. He's right in this hole here.
02:03 - All right. - We are going to have to, I think,
02:04 dig this out a bit.
02:06 - Hold on. I'm over here. Look. - Now, that's big.
02:08 He's actually curled up right now.
02:10 Really in this tight, in this hole.
02:11 - It's big. - It looks big.
02:13 - All right. - Hold on. Wait for me, then.
02:14 - It's not going to be easy.
02:15 I don't know if we're going to... - Can't see it yet.
02:17 - No, no, no, you won't. - Oh, I can see the edge of it.
02:19 - Can you see from... You can't see him from there, then?
02:20 - Only a little bit, eh?
02:22 Problem is, if he goes under this tree, we're stuffed.
02:26 - It's a...
