Any of you guys watch Austin Stevens? I think he's a lunatic and makes a lot of drama out of everything he does but I guess that's for the audiance. I do think he shows a lot of interesting snakes. Last night he had a amethystine python. Never heard of it but he said they get up to 28 feet long and bask in the tree tops to get more heat.
The Craziest thing he did was crawl into a den full of diamond backs although I doubt he was really in one cus the camera was always in front of him filming. I guess the snakes were opperating the cam :D

He does show some pretty cool snakes on there. He is a little over the top though, but still fun to watch.

Sometimes I wish I could be there to whap him accross the face, he does do some pretty dramtic stupid moves.........but I have to give hime credit, he is getting PAID to travel the world and catch snakes........I sit on my butt lookin at them on the internet or on TV, so I think he must know a few things I dont........;)

The Python to which you refer is a Scrub Python, the largest snake in Austrailia. I don't know about 28 feet (?), but 20 for sure. Mark
P.S. whats this got to do with Colubrids? Giving ya a hard time ; )

Yep, I think is way too over the top and annoying at times. Personally I hope he gets bit and dies by a venomous snake or a large dragon takes him down. I laughed like crazy when he fell down that tree! Jeff corwin and Mark Oshea are a lot better.
