1
This is Snake Island.
2
It's an island infested with thousands of the world's deadliest snakes.
3
And this is the King Cobra.
4
One bite from this guy and you are dead.
5
There is no antivenom.
6
And over the next three days, I'm going to be travelling to the very centre of this island.
7
Oh yeah, there's snakes hanging above us.
8
Oh!
9
Oh my god!
10
What are you doing?
11
No, no, no!
12
This is Diaz, our snake expert, who will be helping us survive our three -day trek to the center of this island.
13
Oh, he bite me now. And...
14
Okay guys, see you later.
15
Try not to die.
16
Ha ha ha ha.
17
Well, now we're screwed.
18
Ha ha ha.
19
As we headed towards the first checkpoint, it didn't take us long to encounter a snake.
20
Should I catch it?
21
Because this snake passed.
22
You ready?
23
Okay, I'm ready.
24
Oh, he bite me.
25
You got bit.
26
Uh oh.
27
It looks like a grid mamba.
28
Is this guy venomous?
29
I'm holding a wild snake.
30
Oh my god.
31
Oh my god.
32
You take it.
33
You take it.
34
This snake is mildly venomous, but it's one of the least dangerous on an island home to over 120 species.
35
Many of which are lethal.
36
Things are gonna get a whole lot more dangerous and scary the further we get into this island.
37
So you're probably wondering why we're trying to get to the center of this incredibly deadly island.
38
Well, these guys are why.
39
This is called a blood python.
40
People are killing and hunting these guys so much that they could become an endangered species.
41
Soon also they could be a sting.
42
Diaz, as a snake conservationist, takes his trek to the center of the island in order to release blood pythons into the perfect environment for their survival.
43
And we're joining him.
44
This is probably gonna be the craziest most dangerous adventure you've ever seen on YouTube.
45
So you guys ready?
46
On, on, on, on three, two, one.
47
On three, two, three, two, one.
48
For the blood pythons!
49
Let's go!
50
Before we can make it to the center of the island, we have a number of checkpoints along the way.
51
And as we headed towards base camp, it wasn't long until we found a snake.
52
You found one already?
53
These are the guys that can grow up to like 13 meters?
54
He wanted to show us just how deadly this snake was.
55
That's what I mean.
56
You move that way.
57
Look at that, guys.
58
That is the face of just terrifying nightmares right there.
59
You do not want to get bit by that.
60
He's looking at the camera.
61
Diaz is going to try and catch it by the head so that it can't bite.
62
And then I guess he's going to show me the power of these things.
63
Yeah, okay, okay, sick.
64
Bro, okay, I'm kind of scared.
65
Hold the head.
66
Are you sure?
67
I'm sure.
68
Just hold the head.
69
Man, I'm not happy about this.
70
Yeah, nice, man.
71
Let him rap on you.
72
holy crap okay there's a bit of power there all right this is insane a reticulated python
73
and it's about to try
74
and squeeze my arm look at my veins oh my god
75
it's starting to squeeze now yeah it's okay yeah he's squeezing
76
right now you feel it right he's squeezing look at my
77
vein is popping here we gotta let this guy go diaz
78
goodbye fella wow wow this is the most intense video i've ever done.
79
Jesus.
80
My heart is pounding.
81
Based on our progress so far.
82
How long is it going to take us?
83
I think it's just around 20 kilometers.
84
We keep walking six now, eh?
85
We continue through the jungle and after hours of walking, we finally found a spot that's a little bit more open that we're going to try and build a base camp in.
86
I have no idea how to build this kind of stuff, so Diaz is going to have to show us the way right now.
87
This is looking amazing.
88
What would be the biggest snake in here?
89
Reticulated python.
90
Would they be able to eat someone?
91
Definitely, man.
92
Is there a way we can protect you guys, son?
93
Or just, we just pray?
94
Well, I'll try my best.
95
With base camp built, food was the next priority.
96
Diaz, what's a common food that we can get around here?
97
There is a mud crab here.
98
Clams.
99
We're in a mud crab area.
100
What do you do?
101
Do you just go from below?
102
Yeah.
103
No problem.
104
You trying something?
105
No. Okay.
106
I don't think I, I think I lost it.
107
Oh, I did get a clam.
108
Look at the clam.
109
Nice.
110
It feels so weird to be pulling clams out of just dirt.
111
This is our clam pile.
112
Now let's see, can we get mud crab?
113
I found something.
114
Get this out.
115
That is a crab in the mud.
116
Can we find more?
117
Dinner.
118
You hungry?
119
I'm hungry, man.
120
Good, right?
121
Yeah.
122
I can taste kind of the mud, though.
123
Well, it came from the mud.
124
Yeah.
125
What are the risks of actually having a snake?
126
come into our camp at night.
127
Is that possible?
128
100 % possible, man.
129
Radic -leded python that can smell us from far away.
130
Before heading to bed, we decided to look around camp.
131
I think your guys' hammocks are good.
132
And then Diaz saw some.
133
Oh my gosh.
134
What?
135
This is a dog -toothed cat snake.
136
Wait, are you handing this to me?
137
You really think I should hold it?
138
Yeah.
139
Is he venomous?
140
No, no. This snake is not venomous, but with it being so close to camp, there could be many more that are.
141
This guy is found pretty much just two meters from the boys' hammocks.
142
If there's one of them, then there could be a lot more, right?
143
Could be a lot more.
144
I mean, they're so small, these guys could be anywhere.
145
You stay away from our camp, and let us sleep in peace tonight.
146
That's the way to our camp.
147
Go the other way.
148
First night on Snake Island.
149
Let's go.
150
But my confidence would not last long, as this video did not go to plan.
151
And we had no idea just how dangerous this journey was about to be.
152
Get out of there, Diaz.
153
Get out of there.
154
Get out of there.
155
Good morning.
156
How are you feeling?
157
I'm knackered.
158
You're sweating buckets as well.
159
We left base camp and headed towards the second checkpoint.
160
A boat Diaz had stored up ahead.
161
Diaz, how far is this boat that you stashed?
162
Still like 38 kilometers left.
163
He's joking surely.
164
It's gotta be closer, right?
165
This is the way.
166
But in order to get to its last known location, we first had to cross a lake heavily infested with snakes.
167
So we have to cross this river?
168
Yeah.
169
We do?
170
We do.
171
On this island, the snakes even live and hide in the water.
172
Is this going to be dangerous?
173
Well, it's unpredictable man. That looks deep.
174
Yeah, that is deep.
175
I don't feel comfortable getting across this right now.
176
I've got the blood pythons.
177
You be gentle with that, lad.
178
In order to give the blood pythons the best chance of survival, we had to cross the river.
179
I'm in.
180
Careful.
181
Watch out.
182
But this is also a great time to tell you about today's video sponsor, Ground News.
183
Boys, can you please hurry up?
184
Like, this is your lives on the line here.
185
Ground News is a news comparison platform that compiles articles from every source reporting on a story, and allows you to see it in a very unbiased way.
186
Hurry up, please.
187
Oh no. Like this recent story from Thailand, it looks like a giant python has eaten a human.
188
And how Ground News works is it shows you all the articles written about the same story
189
and summarizes them by highlighting the facts and showing you the different viewpoints reporting on it.
190
So in the case of the giant python, we can very quickly see that 12 news sources have written about it
191
and only 20 % of them score high for being a factual news source.
192
So what is the truth of this story and is it as real as this?
193
Oh my god.
194
It's already wrapping around me.
195
Let me go.
196
I'm trying, I'm trying.
197
I'm trying.
198
Around your leg.
199
Yeah, it's actually properly constricting you now.
200
I can't get rid of it.
201
I can't get rid of it.
202
Got it.
203
Got it?
204
No, I don't have it.
205
It's actually constricting it.
206
Okay, Matt, take it back.
207
Yeah, yeah.
208
Just throw it.
209
Just throw it.
210
Can you help me on the legs?
211
Da -da.
212
We can see it likely wasn't a human that the snake ate.
213
That's just for sensationalism, but it may have been a dog.
214
Tail, the tail, the back end of the tail.
215
Oh my god.
216
Oh my god.
217
Oh my god.
218
There we go, I got it, I got it.

222
that is the biggest snake we've seen
223
so far in this entire trip They're going to release a snake further down the river away from our trail
224
because we do not want that thing backing up on us I can see him.
225
He's gone.
226
He's going the other way.
227
Bro, terrifying.
228
Let's get let's get out of here, man Well, we are very lucky.

233
And now we need to get to Diaz's boat.
234
But that was about to prove a big problem.
235
Wait, so we've lost the path here, is that what you're saying?
236
Yeah, because of the float a few days before.
237
So do you know where the boat is or have we lost it?
238
Well...
239
Diaz had lost the boat.
240
So the terrain is like completely changed because there's been a flood
241
and Diaz has lost the trail that he used to find his boat.
242
Without Diaz's boat, we were screwed.
243
And things are only going to get a lot worse.
244
You got it?
245
Just thunder.
246
Just thunder?
247
Yeah.
248
Is there going to be a storm?
249
Peace.
250
Sorry, bruh.
251
Bro, how hard is it to traverse this place?
252
This is horrendous!
253
Everywhere is completely caked in mud, and kind of spiky things just...
254
We continue blindly in this new area, not knowing if we were going in the right direction.
255
Hating my life right now.
256
Hating it.
257
And then finally...
258
Oh my god!
259
There's a boat right there.
260
That's my boat. That looks sick.
261
Look at this.
262
There's the boat.
263
We found the boat.
264
This is the transport I've been waiting for.
265
We've got about four hours left of light.
266
Let's just send this all the way up the river, get as far as we can and get to the next checkpoint.
267
First of all, I need to...
268
Okay.
269
Let's go.
270
Let's make some noise, Diaz.
271
Woohoo!
272
This is beautiful.
273
This is crazy.
274
We're about to make up so much speed right now.
275
Diaz's boat will get us to the third checkpoint a lot faster.
276
How far is the checkpoint now?
277
About two hours, man!
278
He knew all the shortcuts along the river.
279
Now I feel like we're gonna get somewhere.
280
This is sick!
281
We're about to go down deeper into like a way smaller river here.
282
We are in pig snake territory right now.
283
But then, there was a problem.
284
Cold?
285
Yeah, what's happening to you?
286
No, too shallow now.
287
The shortcut was blocked.
288
Shortcut isn't gonna work.
289
Yeah, we will move to the other area.
290
Without the shortcut, we were forced to make a detour.
291
And that could be bad news.
292
The major thing that we're probably gonna have to contend with now are water snakes.
293
There are way more venomous water snakes than there are normal snakes.
294
Making our way in a little bit more.
295
Bro, this is swamp territory again, and I don't like swamp territory.
296
I feel like things are about to get interesting, and by interesting, I mean scary.
297
Okay.
298
It's quite eerie and freaky right now.
299
The detour on Diaz's boat took us late into the night.
300
It actually feels like we're very isolated.
301
And if there's as many snakes as there are insects, this is going to be interesting.
302
I thought we'd be safe from snakes at night, but it turns out I was wrong.
303
Some species, they are active at night.
304
They come out at night.
305
Some nocturnal species?
306
Yeah.
307
Okay.
308
Okay.
309
Most snakes are highly active at night.
310
You'll find snakes at the edges of the river.
311
Yeah, on the riverbank.
312
Sometimes they are above the water too, swimming towards you and then boom.
313
And we have no choice but to go down this river.
314
Diaz, are you sure this is the right way?
315
Yes.
316
This feels a little precarious right now.
317
Going down this river is like weird and freaky.
318
There's so many weird noises.
319
What the hell was that?
320
But then Diaz saw something.
321
What's that?
322
What's that?
323
Snake man.
324
One in the tree?
325
Yes.
326
Oh yeah.
327
Oh no, I don't like ones in the trees.
328
He had something to show us.
329
Diaz, I'm slowly going right into the snake.
330
Okay, all right.
331
Be careful, right?
332
Yeah.
333
I'm slowly edging into it.
334
You got it?
335
Yeah.
336
But I had no idea how dangerous this was.
337
Is this venomous?
338
Should I really be holding it?
339
Not immediately, but it's okay.
340
Okay.
341
While this snake is venomous, it's not deadly.
342
When they want to inject their panem, they bite and they chew on you.
343
Okay, right.
344
Well, I'm not letting this guy bite me then.
345
But even a single bite would send me to hospital, ruining this trip and my chances of making it to the center of this island.
346
I think I'm holding it weirdly.
347
I don't...
348
It's like the way it's packing up.
349
It's ready to bite now.
350
Oh, Christ.
351
Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't let me go this way.
352
Alright, let's go.
353
I like this guy.
354
This guy's cool.
355
A snake like this now, I feel like I'm getting a bit more used to, you know?
356
However, I would not really still like to be bit by anything.
357
I don't mind.
358
That's so weird.
359
Okay, we're gonna release this little guy.
360
It's kind of a beautiful moment actually releasing his snake.
361
Definitely.
362
Diaz forcing me to hold a snake was a lesson.
363
Yesterday was probably the first time I've ever held a wild snake in my life.
364
Really?
365
Yeah, well clearly.
366
I'm from Ireland.
367
Ain't no snakes.
368
And I was going to need to handle a lot more snakes if we had any chance of surviving this journey.
369
If you know how to handle it, they will chill on me.
370
Sounds like I don't know how to handle anything.
371
Man, you are a beginner.
372
That's normal, you know.
373
You just come to know the right guy, you know, with me.
374
And then Diaz had a plan.
375
We're going to deliver him out.
376
We had to find some snakes.
377
We catch them.
378
He thought the only way for us to survive this journey was to head first into a nest of snakes.
379
We call it...
380
Night cruising, we call it.
381
A night cruise, let's see what happens.
382
We're expecting a.. a lot of snakes right now.
383
Whoa.
384
Tiny little guy, tiny little snake right up here.
385
Honestly, this guy feels like a toy.
386
He just feels like a little rubber thing, but has a little mind of its own because it's actually real.
387
So is this one venomous?
388
Last time my friend got bit by this and I don't see him anymore.
389
Really?
390
Seriously?
391
Yeah, because he moved to another city.
392
Holy sh.
393
So it's not venomous, is it?
394
It's not venomous.
395
Give it to Matt.
396
All right, Matt.
397
You ready?
398
Sure.
399
Like actually?
400
I'm going to put it away though once it's Oh, they can swim.
401
Nice!
402
I actually caught it.
403
That's kinda cool.
404
Well done, Matt.
405
That's your first time touching one.
406
That's cool.
407
See you later.
408
Cool.
409
We're seeing a snake.
410
Woah!
411
Woah!
412
Woah!
413
Let him bite you!
414
Why would I let him bite me?
415
I got it.
416
That's okay, man!
417
Oh My god, I got bit my boy my first snake and did it hurt no,
418
so why did you scream like a girl? Because it bit me
419
if he hasn't just pulled a frog out of them poisonous it I don't know oh look at that oh
420
It's so cute Wow, he's like the he's like the perfect kind of frog.
421
Oh, he's gone Wow There's a snake on my crotch.
422
I don't know how this happened Matt, Matt, Matt, you gotta grab the snake.
423
What?
424
Yeah, Matt, Matt, come on.
425
He doesn't want me, see?
426
He literally doesn't want me.
427
Okay, no, you need to grab it and you need to not scream like a little girl, okay?
428
You ready?
429
Oh my god.
430
Okay, you ready?
431
He's wriggling.
432
Just pass me the camera somehow.
433
Ahhhh!
434
Sorry, I screamed like a little girl.
435
Ahhhh!
436
Sorry!
437
Just put it back, though.
438
Oh, he's biting!
439
Okay, how do I get that off?
440
You need to do something!
441
Okay, come here, come here, come here.
442
Okay, okay, just let it be, let it be!
443
Isn't he putting venom into me now, though?
444
No, there's no venom on that snake.
445
That's okay.
446
Can you touch, like, Like a bellow of the mouth like like You serious?
447
Yeah Digga -dee -dingga -dee -dee Ah!
448
It's just so hard!
449
You're a bastard!
450
You're a bastard!
451
How do I get him off?
452
Ah!
453
He's still going!
454
When is he gonna stop?
455
Diaz!
456
Diaz!
457
What am I meant to do?
458
Alright, your turn, Matt.
459
You ready?
460
Absolutely not.
461
Put him back.
462
Dara the drama queen.
463
You try getting bit by a snake, Matt.
464
I don't want to try getting better.
465
I'm just out of my crotch.
466
Yes.
467
What the hell?
468
Did you draw that on me?
469
No. You know, you see me when I'm...
470
It's just like, no. After hours of handling snakes, we started to enjoy the night cruise.
471
There's something very peaceful about just cruising down a river at night.
472
But even though we were having fun, transporting these blood pythons to the center of this island meant we were not safe.
473
It's peaceful until the king cobra comes towards you.
474
Wait, did you find king cobras on the river?
475
Yeah, yes.
476
Oh, I didn't know that.
477
King cobras are the largest venomous snake in the world, and one bite is instant death.
478
And on the way to the center of this island, we would have to pass through their territory.
479
Can anyone speak parcel tongue?
480
Say -yat -si -yat -s.
481
I said, hey, lad, king coby, come out now, like.
482
With our mood still high, me and Matt made a bet.
483
If we ever come across a king cobra, you have to at least touch it.
484
But we had no idea just how reckless this would turn out.
485
Get out of there.
486
I touch a king cobra, you touch a king cobra.
487
Let's go.
488
What do you mean, let's go?
489
That's not a good idea.
490
I mean, it's possible without dying, obviously, right?
491
I've never done it.
492
You've never...
493
Well, I'm obviously not doing it.
494
Let's go, let's go, let's go, man.
495
Boy in Indonesia dies after touching a king cobra and it eats him.
496
You touch it and I'll touch it.
497
I'm sweating again now.
498
Why are we doing this?
499
This is putting you to the test now.
500
I'll touch King Cobra After over 12 hours stuck on Diaz's boat, we finally made it to the third checkpoint.
501
This is crazy Diaz Did you build this yourself?
502
This one?
503
Yeah, no, it's built by my relatives.
504
Oh, this is really cool.
505
Yeah, this is more like it.
506
This is perfect So what yeah, tell me again who the hell built this?
507
My relatives.
508
Okay, so one of Diaz's relatives have built this as well.
509
All this way in. And what?
510
We just...
511
Wait, we're going to set up hammocks or we just sleep across it?
512
We just sleep across it.
513
Yeah, it's fine.
514
Brilliant, bro.
515
But before we headed inside, Diaz had something to tell us about himself and his relatives.
516
We have a tradition to hunt the head.
517
Head hunter.
518
Head of what?
519
Head hunter of a human.
520
Really?
521
So you can imagine like when we are arrived on someone house like this
522
and they already like they are ready to cut your head directly immediately I'm so confused man.
523
They would be.
524
They will be.
525
They would be ready to cut your head.
526
And is this the head of like a rival?
527
Human.
528
But is it like a rival tribe or where do they find?
529
Rival tribe and then also definitely from another tribe.
530
Oh my god.
531
Is this a normal thing in Borneo now?
532
There is a lot of reason they do cut
533
the head when the children want to get adult need to to cut someone's head.
534
It's been like the way of them to get adult, become a man.
535
Oh my god, we'd be a good prize right now.
536
No, no, no. My great grandpa was a headhunter too.
537
This video is just getting wilder and wilder.
538
I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight.
539
I thought we were about to meet our end, and our heads were about to be...
540
Yeah, maybe in the end of the trip.
541
We had no idea if we could trust Diaz anymore.
542
With no contact to the outside world, we were extremely vulnerable.
543
But as we were about to discover, Diaz wasn't our only concern.
544
You guys hear that?
545
I'm serious, that's the adult male around that.
546
Should we take a look outside?
547
Oh my god!
548
That is so wild.
549
They're right above us.
550
They're literally right above us.
551
That's so scary.
552
They're like...
553
We've got it...
554
Oh my god!
555
Oh my god!
556
They're like throwing stuff down at us!
557
They're trying to get rid of us!
558
They don't like that one here.
559
With the hut under attack from monkeys, we decided to move to another building, which we thought would be safer.
560
Tell me again, who the hell built this?
561
My relatives.
562
But as it turns out, we were not alone.
563
I'm going to call him now.
564
Oh.
565
Oh, he's here?
566
One of Diaz's relatives lived inside this hut.
567
I can't realize.
568
and we were about to go inside.
569
Well, this is gonna work.
570
It's okay.
571
Here, come inside.
572
I know, the car is in my house, I don't know.
573
Okay, that's right.
574
This is why it's very important to travel here with local.
575
This is insane that he's this far in.
576
What's his name?
577
Forget.
578
What, Diaz?
579
What the hell?
580
Ruli or something like that.
581
Oh wait, are we about to sleep with Ruli?
582
Here.
583
We just sleep here.
584
Definitely.
585
Ohhhh. Is this wild?
586
I don't know, this is crazy.
587
Yeah, this is.
588
After learning Diaz didn't even know the name of his so -called relative.
589
You were going to sleep where?
590
Down there, with the dog.
591
We made up every excuse to try and get out of there.
592
I don't know.
593
I mean, we can join you with that.
594
We can do that as well.
595
Yeah, we'll just do hammocks or whatever.
596
A hammock.
597
Yeah, because it's probably better for the video for us as well.
598
Okay, let's go.
599
Yeah, so yeah, he can sleep in peace.
600
Bro.
601
That's wild.
602
Borneo.
603
How'd you feel, though?
604
I was kind of weird and freaky.
605
Yeah, I was like...
606
That gave me weird vibes.
607
I mean, he was way too friendly.
608
He was asleep and he just barged in.
609
And he was like, yes, sleep is.
610
He was sleeping right next to me.
611
But then also the kind of scary feeling of...
612
They're headhunters.
613
This is our last night on the island.
614
We're gonna release these blood pythons.
615
Then to be honest, I'm like, get the f* off.
616
How did you sleep?
617
Not good.
618
Why?
619
I just didn't sleep again much, to be honest.
620
You were cuddling up with me.
621
Yeah, that was probably...
622
That was like...
623
After what Diaz told us last night, the mood in camp was still tense.
624
Before heading back to the boat, we checked on the blood pythons.
625
So we're going to check on the blood pythons, give them a little drink, make sure they're all good for the final stretch.
626
and then, you know, we're going to be releasing them pretty damn soon.
627
How are you feeling about these guys?
628
I feel good.
629
I'm excited to get them to their home.
630
Or what will be their home.
631
Yeah.
632
It's been quite the journey.
633
Mentally, physically.
634
So hopefully the next time we see these guys, we are releasing them into their habitat.
635
I came into this not knowing anything about snakes, and I do feel like I'm not as scared of them, and that they're actually a really cool creature.
636
Most of them are a lot more chilled than expected.
637
They got bit loads last night.
638
What am I talking about?
639
They were all small as well.
640
Should we crack on and go?
641
Yeah, we should.
642
Final stretch.
643
So we still got a little bit more land traversal to do, but this is the last time we're going to see the boat after this journey.
644
We headed out on Diaz's boat for the final time.
645
The point that we will release the Blood Python, it takes approximately two hour two.
646
He was taking us to a location so isolated that the Blood Pythons would be able to thrive.
647
This just looks like an entirely different terrain.
648
But with us also unsure if we could trust him or not, It also meant we would be incredibly vulnerable.
649
And then there was a problem.
650
This is the end of the line for the boat.
651
Diaz's boat could go no further, and we would have to make it to the tree line by foot.
652
Is it dangerous before this tree line?
653
Like is there a snakes here?
654
Yeah, definitely.
655
A giant python, cray, spitting cobra, orange snake killback, a bandit crate, and then king cobra.
656
All I heard was every single snake that I've ever heard of.
657
We gotta make it to that tree line without getting bit or eaten by any number of those species of snakes.
658
Oh bro, this is scary.
659
Say goodbye to the boat!
660
Oh, oh, yeah, that's deep!
661
This is slightly terrifying.
662
Many, many water snakes and even the land snakes can be in here as well.
663
Honestly, we just got to walk and hope for the best at the same time as well.
664
So some of the snakes are going to blend in with the reeds, and some of them are not.
665
If a king cobra came for us now, we would not see it coming, and one bite means death.
666
This is like the last place I would want to see a king cobra.
667
Because we can't, we can't move, we can't really jump out of the way.
668
There's no way to like really run around here.
669
Coming up to the halfway mark right now.
670
Definitely touched something on my foot.
671
Oh, this is a reticulate python man.
672
Okay, yeah, let's just chill.
673
Literally directly in our path.
674
We got a stud right on it.
675
You got it?
676
You got it?
677
Yeah.
678
Oh God.
679
Okay, everything good?
680
Everything good?
681
Everything good, man.
682
Okay, wow.
683
Oh my God.
684
That is a big one.
685
Jesus.
686
Wild man.
687
This is a beautiful snake.
688
Look at the almost rainbow shimmer that you can see on that.
689
Shimmering all over its skin.
690
I feel like I am getting used to snakes, you know, at this point, man.
691
You're kind of liking it.
692
You're coming to their place.
693
This is their home, and it's like we get to appreciate them.
694
Yeah.
695
But these are things to be incredibly respected, though.
696
Let's release this a bit away from our trail.
697
Yeah, that's good.
698
Over here.
699
It's actually got my fingers caught.
700
Okay.
701
And then after that, I raise the head directly.
702
Whoa!
703
It's still on my hand, Diaz!
704
Okay, there it goes.
705
That is the one interesting thing that I guess I'm learning on this entire journey is
706
humans are kind of one of the craziest predators and literally for these blood pythons, we're the biggest danger to them.
707
We're the ones hunting and eating them.
708
This is extreme.
709
Just challenging yourself and learning something new.
710
I feel like I'm alive.
711
It's like what we're meant to do.
712
We're about 20 meters now.
713
There's a lot of people that talk a lot of crap, but I actually haven't done anything.
714
I want to be the opposite of that, you know?
715
And we've made it out of the reed area.
716
Now to enter this forest.
717
And my scary job as the cameraman is to catch up with them on my own.
718
Hopefully they've not found any snakes.
719
I bet you Dara's just gonna cut me in the edit.
720
We made it to the tree line and headed deeper into the forest.
721
This is a proper forest.
722
As we neared the center of the island, the encounters with snakes became more frequent.
723
Snakes.
724
Is it a snake?
725
Yeah.
726
How did you get that?
727
Bro...
728
Sunbeam snake.
729
So we could've walked right on top of that as well?
730
Yeah, we could.
731
That's why every little movement we need to be careful.
732
Okay, can I just say, uh...
733
I'm walking barefoot.
734
So is he!
735
Oh man!
736
Before we could release the blood pythons, we had to find the right location.
737
So the actual terrain and habitat for a blood python is super important.
738
Super important.
739
Diaz was taking us to a place where the blood pythons would have the best possible chance of survival.
740
I have a specific spot and over there is more food for them.
741
But this area was also home to a concentrated number of venomous snakes.
742
I'm getting flashbacks of river right now.
743
Anytime I see water I get scared. And then...
744
Guys, is that what I think it is?
745
We encountered the one thing we had been trying to avoid this entire trip.
746
And one bite means death.
747
Diaz has literally just found a kinkobran.
748
Okay, come back come back yes, I don't want you to like get hurt yes you guys you guys hear
749
that Matt Give me give me that camera if you want if we want to get a photo job.
750
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay Please be careful now just check this house largest venom snake in the world
751
It's ready to attack Jesus Jesus!
752
Okay, okay, alright.
753
Alright.
754
Almost guys.
755
I need to make this guy away from us right now.
756
And that's when the deadliest snake on the planet attacked me.
757
Alright, alright.
758
Get the back, get the f*ing...
759
Oh my f*ing God!
760
Holy s*!
761
Oh my f*ing God.
762
Okay.
763
Diaz.
764
Oh my God.
765
Right guys, we need to be careful.
766
Yeah, yes.
767
Because we are far away from the health center.
768
Yeah, we're not getting bit.
769
Matt, come closer.
770
Come closer?
771
I don't know.
772
about touching that guy Okay, so that's okay.
773
That's okay.
774
Oh if if he chase you I will catch him.
775

776

778

856
Alright, alright.
857
Put back, just put back.

859
Bro, that was way too close for my liking.
860
Yeah.
861
I'm not gonna lie, I'd love to go release these blood pythons.
862
I'd love to go release these blood pythons, yeah.
863
Three days ago I started this journey to release the blood pythons to the center of this island.
864
And along the way I faced things I never imagined.
865
And with the final day coming to an end, there was just one thing left for us to do.
866
We're away from the rivers.
867
This is like one of the highest points around here.
868
They love this kind of terrain And also this is the perfect Borough for them.
869
So let's release We do it?
870
Yeah.
871
Finally guys I'm so emotional.

877
Well, it doesn't feel wrong But we have to let them go
878
But it was time for us to help these guys survive
879
I wasn't sure what to how to feel about them at the start of this video
880
But like I don't know I've gotten such an appreciation for
881

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
