i saw a commercial for a show "Dangerous Encounters" on the national geographic channel, and the commercial got me on the floor laughing, so i figured i'd try to find it and post it.
i did one better by finding the whole clip of this encounter. you can skip to about 2 minutes if you don't have time because nothing really happens till after 2 minutes.
i can't imagine being anywhere near a python, let a lone in the water/mud with one.
