Dangerous Encounters is no joke

Now THIS is really wild. National Geographic Channel has the show Dangerous Encounters with Brady Barr, which showcases close encounters with deadly wildlife. The clip below is from an episode called Snake Bite and here is Brady’s own account:

On day three, about 200 feet (60 meters) into the cave, walking along the right-side wall where the fecal soup was the shallowest, I spied a large python partially exposed in a crack in the left wall, on the opposite side of the cave across the deepest part of the fecal river.

[With cameras rolling] I frantically waded across the middle deepest portion of the fecal river (waist deep on me) and to the other side of the cave, where I was successful in grabbing the last few feet of the snake’s tail before it escaped into the wall.

Now that would freak me right out, but he was determined to get that damn snake.

After a brief power struggle, the python popped out of the crack in a blur of coils and quickly started to wrap us up. In the waist-deep fecal soup, the darkness of the cave and myriad of coils, it was difficult to locate the head, which was our major concern. With Mark still holding the tail, the big snake wrapped its powerful coils around Mark’s body once and around both of my legs down low at least once, and maybe two coils. The snake’s head was horrifyingly all over the place, popping in and out of the fecal soup and making securing it almost impossible. Before we could formulate a plan to get out of the quicksand-like fecal soup, where drowning was a serious issue while trying to subdue a giant snake, it bit me.
