I missed the first twenty minutes, but what I did see was pretty good. But I really hate all the extra computer generated crap representing scent particles, heat signatures, foot vibrations etc. Once, maybe, but not all the time. And what is the point of having a snake superimposed on a grid, repeatedly striking a large + ? Looked like a big ad for Hewlett Packard.

yes hix it does get a bit much when they keep doing it

The Eyelash Viper was so gorgeous. It had eyelashes! lol - - and then it had the hummingbirds eyelashes too. Inside. Eaten. Never mind.

The only way we will get a programme as good as that on our own Australian snakes and Reptiles - is if Bigguy and some of his mates get together and make one.
Yes? Let's vote.

Dead Serious Em.

I didn't think it was that great, as usual there was not much on aussie snakes, but i agree with bigguy those cameras on the snakes were pretty cool.

 

[soulweaver]

it still paints snakes as being deadly and to watch out for them.....would of been could if there was an attempt to make people more aware and not afraid of snakes.

 

[africancichlidau]

Yeah but unless you are X shaped and walk along a grid you are safe from them

 

[dobermanmick]

Lisa did say snakes wernt slimey just smooth

The show was good except that sometimes I really doubt that they would have filmed sequences such as the puff adder one, without interfearing or placing animals such as the mouse or the bird there. Also if you looked carefully in the maculosa sequence there is at one stage a carpet python hanging off the wall of the cave.

Also in the Cobra and the weaver bird sequence it looked like several cobras were used. Also how would they be able to attatch cameras to a snake?? Wouldn't the snake get stuck if it went through a bush or something because there was a camera sticking out on their back.....

Typically there was the normal mistakes such as saying that snakes are poisonous, and that sea snakes are the most toxic of all snakes etc

I haven't bothered to read the previous posts so i apologise if this has already been mentioned

Thanks 4 the pix alex. very amazing stuff. hope we don't get red's around here that are THAT hungry. i might wake up one morn and b snakeless.

 

[hey_im_sam]

Didn't get to watch all of it (ppl over for dinner), but have the last 3/4 on tape so i'll get to it - saw up to around the black mamba bit, which was an absolute joke :lol:, And yeah, the outline of a snake sensing little blue cirles and sticking at a big red + on a grid was kind of.. interesting isn't really the right word All up though what I saw was well worth it! Some great shots, and the cameras attached to the snakes were excellent. Beautiful animals...

I was too drunk too remember it

 

[Guest]

I have it on tape is any Sydney siders missed it and want to borrow it.

Not a bad show, but there were a few faults. For starters boy did they exagerate on the Black Mambas(as usual), making out they as as fast as a sprinter. Next that Cape Cobra climbing the tree for the weaver bird chicks appeared to have 4 or five different colours and patterns. Next when talking on eyesight Attanborough stated they had exellant eyesight but then added at seeing movement. Snakes in actual fact have bad eyesight and can ONLY really see movement. Again it was stated seas snakes are the most venomous snakes of all(this was strongly believed in the past) but is wrong. And the final thing I really hated was when they stated pythons seperate their heads into 4 parts while swallowing food. I have never seen a snakes upper skull bones that devide in two.

:roll: Do your own show Bigguy! lifes too short.

hehehe :lol: agreed! I thought it was okay, the computer stuff was really annoying, we kept saying "just get back to the snake". I liked the snake island, that was pretty amazing. I thought they emphasized the 'scary' side of snakes a little too much. ie, black mamba, snake island, etc.

Anyhow, the kids loved it. Especially when they saw "sammy" (our male maccie) in a cave: "look mum, there's Sammy!" :wink:
