FULL length body stripe!!!! If you look real close you'll see it when hes in the "cave" surrounded by rattlers. There is one that is just AWESOME!! The entire back is a solid broad, dark stripe, with slight "pinstriping" that ends in a cool squiggly pattern at the tail. If that snake is in the wild (and not from someones collection) Austin is a dope and a half for not grabbing it.

There was one that looked like it was patternless and one that looked like a durissus. Wonder who they belonged to.

Actually, it was probably his best episode so far, which isn't saying much.

I didnt think it was all that bad. He didnt handle them in the nicest possible. You know that big one wasnt a venomoid, the venom was all over the lens. That was a good shot.

Austin Stevens is an idiot(professional herpetologist wannabe). I can't stand watching him. The reptiles on the show are awesome. Just the wrong guy handling them. Steve Irwin is just as bad. Although I realize that planted animals are frequently used, it shouldn't be made so obvious.
