March 14, 2020. “It was an accident!” Brittany Borges said while laughing, when asked how she got into python hunting. Borges, 28, eaglenews.org

Borges' entry into reality television was largely accidental. While drinking wine with her mother, she discovered an opening on Crum’s team and was jokingly urged to apply. Despite having no prior experience in professional snake hunting, her background in plumbing and her upbringing—hunting and fishing with her father—made her a natural fit for the physically demanding environment of the swamps.
