I know nothing about snake hunting other than the 3 youtube videos I just watched (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5JB_bzQwtZ8), but this professional sure makes getting them into the sack is about as hard and dangerous as I would imagine. Seems like you're one slip up from getting a chunk of your body removed (like that dude in the youtube video's arm).

Most of the pythons they are bagging are much smaller than that, and YouTubers have an incentive to make bagging a snake look more thrilling than it usually is.
Wrestling snakes is good for likes/subscribes. A .22 handgun is probably what is used when not filming.
