Yeah. What made the bite worse than a normal "strike and release" is that he spread his legs apart as the snake was latched on and that created lacerations across his upper left leg. I do believe that he was in as much pain as he sounded. With the snake at around 12', a normal bite would hurt, but a bite that rips across like that must be excruciating.

I did not have a single problem with the show, especially since it was a show with an actual herpetologist in it and not some Discovery Channel commentator bad mouthing pythons.
