Hi guys im just wondering if anybody watched the show on giant snakes on sabc 3 last night ?And what did u think of it.

I enjoyed it and always enjoy Braidy's programs. Pity they did not find the dinosaur though as I believe that they are still around today, especially in the Congo areas. :cool:

Yeah it was enjoyable at least all the giant snakes. But what I'd really love to know is how the heck can he be walking through the forests of WESY africa & come across an EAST african gaboon viper in the middle of the path??? Anyone else notice that???
Doesn't fool everyone. Didn't have much respect for him before the show lost the last remainder during the show.

he should have taken a wrangler that has experience in the congo with, that way they would not have been filling in spaces with previous footage to make a full movie

yes it was quite cool
espesialy cathing tha gaboon i wouldnt even if they paid me considering you are in remote congo if you get bitten there by that size gaboon its tickets for you!!.
the part i also enjoyed was the catch of the indian python .... it gave them quite a hard time restraining it

but nonetheless very interesting and entertaining

It is possible to find both East and West african gaboons in the Congo. I am not sure where they were but it is not impossible.

There have been a few programmes on Retics in the past. Most of the anaconda work is done by serious researchers whereas the research on retics is usually to justify the skin trade or prove that they eat people.
