Austin Steven´s Most Dangerous: In Search of Man-eating python. Austin Stevens wants to journey to the heart of Borneo. The name alone conjures images of impenetrable jungles, deadly snakes, bloodthirsty leeches and clouds of biting insects. This is where Austin has dreamed of encountering the giant of all snakes -- the reticulated python. "Retics" are known amongst zookeepers as being unpredictable and difficult to tame. These snakes are also quite capable of severing arteries with their quick strikes and razor-sharp teeth. Zookeepers say anything over three meters is dangerous. Austin hopes to find a nine-meter reticulated python. His search will take him from swimming with highly venomous sea kraits, to wading through swamps and into deep caves teeming with bats, scorpions, spiders and snakes.
