Austin Stevens is a good showman. I noticed watching several episode many of the species he caught he said were cytotoxic which wasn't true on multiple species.

You're right I seen that episode and wondered the same thing. Maybe because he's from South Africa? Those in Australia will always say it's the Taipan. I beleive it is the Inland Taipan....at least until science proves them wrong.
My fav episode with Austin is when he hunts down the Lancehead, my fav species. He found a monster, about 7 feet and thick. Alert and aware of every movement of every bone in Austins body, he finally got hold of it, and when he milked the sucker, it sprayed venom everywhere it looked like orange juice. He joked you could add a shot of vodka to it.
What an absolute beast of a reptile. Austin was shaking and even mentioned that even though he has milked thousands of snakes, he was never so nervous as with the Lancehead.
