Rattlesnake Republic

Hunting season has kicked off in the Rattlesnake Republic, but with the Texas Snake Man hospitalized with a severe snakebite, the delicate balance of big egos and bigger money is tipped.

Huntin' season's in full swing in the Texas snake diamond, and hunters are taking big risks for big profits. Team leaders Riley Sawyers and Jackie Bibby are no exception - when they venture places no other hunter would dare.

It's mid-season in the Rattlesnake Republic, and these fearless snake hunters know that when you're dealing in deadly vipers, you can only bet on one thing: that your day will never go as planned.

Texas rattlesnake hunters don't always take kindly to newcomers - so when each team ends up with an uninvited guest, things get dicey.

With prices at $10 a pound, snake hunters in Texas is getting creative to haul in as many diamondbacks as possible - whether that means lifting a house or hopping in a giant rock crawler, but sometimes love will distract even the most determined hunter.

Jackie decides to break his own world record for holding rattlesnakes in his mouth - the same stunt that nearly killed him a few months prior, and Vickie and Higginbottom duke it out for the position of top snake dealer.
