Has anyone else seen that show on animal planet "Snake Boss"? I saw it last night and am just curious as to what other snake catchers think? I quite liked it, entertaining at least. Plus you can see some cool snakes as well.

Hi all, New to the site, but a long-term snake + reptile lover. I just spent about half an hour watching a marsh snake in my front garden (about 40cm, so I'm thinking young adult?), before he went to hide under a bush. I'd love for him to stick around - especially as I don't want him going onto...

A Marsh Snake was found in the playground of the local school, they caught it using tongs and put it in a bag and apparently someone knowing I liked reptiles decided to bring it to me to ask what it was and what to do with it. So I told them it was a Marsh Snake and took some photos when I went...
