Given the number of movies mentioned, this seems like as good a place as any to post a link to THE VON SHOLLY HISTORY OF MONSTERS, on YouTube. Just thought some of you might enjoy it.

Somewhat related…

That show I mentioned in the other thread, with the mamba-catchers…I imagine you’ve heard of Thea Litschka-Koen and her husband Clifton, who run a reptile park in Swaziland and recently started radio tracking black mambas? I hadn’t until this show, but what very cool people they are. I have a feeling they’d be your kind of people; I know they’re mine.

I don’t know if you get PBS shows in Australia, like “Nature,” but if you have a chance to see the episode with these two, there are plenty of “Awww, snakey!” moments, especially with the hatchlings.

Of course, there’s a few “AAAAAAAAAA GAPING BLACK VOID OF DEATH!!!!” moments too, but that’s to be expected with black mambas.

It’s okay: I already had that thought!

Feel free to update the screenshots, but don’t take away the pretty snakeys!

Not that I think you would, but I’m just putting it out there.
