    I have it on record all episodes. I cant get enough of it. A show solely for snakes, and no bashing, just educational information and no drama.

    are they destroying the snakes or just holding onto them?

    In snake wranglers, each episode is about a different species with different experts. None of the episodes I've watched have the destroyed a snake. Actually one episode was quite the opposite. A researcher in Africa showed indiginous people that collecting the snakes and their venom is more profitable and doesn't diminish the population like the skin trade would, thus making a longterm and even permanent source of income for the villagers. Now there are around 80 liscenced collectors (who are villagers) that go collect cobras, taipans and other venomous species for the production of anti-venin.

    yeah. hence...interesting lol i love how they kept saying how this snake was completely wiping out the ecosystem and they needed to do something about it. let nature run its course.

    of course the boas are the dominant predator on the island. there amazing hunting machines

    Seems like they're probably relocating them or something... At least that was my impression.

    I saw most of that episode, and it's the only episode I have seen. I have to admit it bored me, (SPOILER ALERT) even after seeing the man being struck by a cobra. They were too calm, it wasn't entertaining :P (/Spoiler :P)
