New species of snake

[lars5277]

I was watching a show the other night on animal planet and the found a new species of pit viper. I was wondering if anyone saw it, and if they remembered any names or anything. It wasn't steve Corwin or anyone real popular. It was 3-4 dudes climbing through a jungle in South America I think. I wan't to see if anything was posted on the net about this new snake yet. They also had a real long tree dweeling snake on the show that was shaped almost like a piece of ribbon. It was very green and flat vertically is that makes sense.

Thanks

it wasnt anywhere in south america. it was an island off the coast of malaysia called Tioman. the pit viper they found, they called "the tioman pit viper" i saw it too.

Anyone else offended by the way they treated the various herps they found? I was like no, put it back! They just kept yanking things out of habitats and not being too gentle in the process, I changed the channel midway through the show.

they were kinda rough, but i dont think any herps got hurt.

did anyone see that awesome water monitor? that was sooo cool!

I only saw like 5-6 minutes of the show. I didnt see them keep anything. I don't even recall if they kept it.
