Had an amazing time hunting Pythons with the Gladesboys! Learned alot as these men have a true love of Florida wildlife and are super knowledgeable about all types of reptiles! Highly recommend you book a trip with these guys! Less

So much fun. Cool experience at night. The Everglades are certainly an amazing phenomenon on this Earth. Go experience it with Steve and Jake. Those guys are true professionals. They are very knowledgeable and willing to share, which takes the experience to a higher level. We caught some cool snakes that night and saw lots of animals. I would definitely do it again Less

As someone who has unique outdoorsy hobbies and interests, my social media algorithms and friends/family are always sending me fascinating current events in that genre. In July 2023, I found myself getting bombarded with videos of the Glades Boys catching the world-record-breaking, 19ft Burmese python in Southern Florida. I immediately reached out via their Instagram to see if I could go hunting with them as soon as possible. The Glades Boys and I messaged back and forth and found a date that worked for all of us before the hunting season was over and their deadline to head back to college. However, I was a bit nervous as I am a female and would be traveling and joining them alone all the way from Kansas City, Missouri. They assured me that they would keep me safe from ANY potential harm that would be in addition to dangerous creatures we might encounter in the Everglades. Another obstacle was hurricane Idalia, which was supposed to hit Florida on the exact dates that I would be there for the hunting trip. The Glades Boys knew I was traveling a long way, and instead of canceling, they constantly checked weather maps and kept steady communication with me. We got lucky the rain and winds stopped for enough time on my last night in town for us to head out into the Everglades. I was extremely impressed with the knowledge the Glades Boys had about every little creature we stumbled upon. They knew the Everglades like the back of their hands, which was greatly appreciated as I learned a lot while feeling completely safe. They also had me laughing the whole time and made me feel like they too were having a lot of fun rather than it just being their job to take me with them. We stayed out as long as possible (about 6 hours) until I needed to (literally) run and catch my early flight back home. We were unsuccessful in finding any pythons, but as an avid hunter I understand that is just how it goes sometimes. The 6 hours flew by as we had a blast, and the experience alone despite not finding any pythons was definitely worth traveling as far as I did. I will continue to go hunting with them every year as long as they’ll have me! Three words to describe my experience with the Glades Boys- educational, hilarious, memorable. Less

I had the most unforgettable experience of my life with the Glades Boys! Jake and Stevie are the perfect duo to make these hunts exciting and fun! Not only do they bring so much energy and knowledge to every hunt, but they are seriously dedicated to protecting our Everglades. I learned more than I could ever hope for about our native ecosystems and I would recommend this excursion to anyone who shares even a fraction of their passion! Less

The gladesboys have eagle eyes! How they spot these snakes is a mystery to me. They will put you on snakes and many other creatures that you never thought you’d see up close. Definitely recommend for the trip of your life! Less

Stevie and Jake are the pros! They know the ins and outs of python hunting, safety techniques, and skilled techniques, and they make sure you are comfortable while doing everything with excellent equipment. I’m no snake guy by any means, but after a quick lesson on how to hold the python we caught, I got the hang out of it. Not only are they great python hunters with a record in Florida, but they are very knowledgeable about fishing. They gave me some pointers! Keep it up! I need to get out there in the summer again.

Stevie and Jake took my friends and I out one night and we had a blast. I tell people about our experience all the time–this is something very few have the opportunity of doing, so take advantage! You won't regret it. Less
