....an older episode I saw a few years back. My memory is a bit foggy, but here's what I remember..

Steve and his crew were at a person's pond, at night, to remove a 'problem' croc.

While looking for the croc Steve encounters a fair-sized carpet python on a branch overlooking the pond.
As Steve attempts to wrangle the python, it strikes, causing Steve to naturally step backwards.

In doing so, Steve knocks his wife into the water. lol
His wife is in the pond, splashing around, with an unseen, large croc lurking somewhere out of sight.

They pull his wife, soaking wet, from the pond, and continue filming. A shaken Terri even says something to the effect of 'Steve, please stop filming for a moment'.

They give Terri a towel and continue filming Steve with the python.

I had to admire Steve's dedication. Sure, he probably spent a few days in the doghouse for continuing to film, but CRIKEY, the footage he got of that 'paaathin'.

RIP Steve. You brought many hours of entertainment to this herpnut.
