There are more than 3000 species of snakes, and each one seems to scare man inordinately. For this rare, up-close look at the mysterious reptile, wildlife cinematographers traveled to the far corners of the earth to capture the serpent in its varied roles in the wild and in relation to men. Witness Burmese cobra charmers, the birth of a green tree python in the rain forest, the tagging of a deadly fer-de-lance in Central America and a Texas rattlesnake round up. It’s an exotic adventure that will bring new insight into the kingdom of the snake. As seen on ABC. Narrated by E.G. Marshall.
