I was watching Austin Stevens on his herp photography show the other day and in the first he was looking for a giant green anaconda and in the second he was looking for a king cobra. In the first there is this cheesy scene where he finds a red tail boa hanging out in a tree in broad daylight (mine never comes out in the day) and goes up after it. Half way down the tree he falls into the river below with the snake. This was the most staged encounter I have ever seen. His show was filled with these bad melodramatic encounters. I have never seen anything like it. At least I usually believe Steve and Jeff are having a somewhat real experience even if it isn't, and I never worry about them injuring an animal.
