- If I make an info box with the names of the cameremen, editors and other members of the crew on this series, can the article stay? I created the article years ago, and this is a show I know very well. I have all the episodes, I can write more information about it. User talk:Blogorgonopsid 31 May 2022 5:56 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  The article provides 113 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "His bark is worse Ten Deadliest Snakes (Eden, 3pm/9pm) Without a hint of sheepishness, Nigel Marven concedes in turn that (a) these are only the 10 deadliest snakes in Costa Rica, and (b) at least half of them aren't deadly at all, although they might give you a nasty nip. The fact that the list is restricted to one Central American country explains the absence of usual suspects such as cobras, mambas and taipans, with the rare, lengthy bushmaster taking the top place in a line-up dominated by varieties of viper. When not snake-spotting, Marven visits a lab that conducts research on them and hears how horses are used to produce antivenom."

From the rice paddies of India to the jungles of Malaysia, from the heat of the Australian Outback to the green fields of the English countryside, he uncovers incredible serpents and a host of other animals. In Malaysia he meets worshippers and vipers at Penang's famous snake temple and takes a boat trip through the mangrove swamps of Langkawi. In India thousands of people are killed by snake bites every year. In Australia, he encounters the most toxic serpent in the world, and in Europe his journey takes him from the ancient ruins of Turkey to the mountains of Spain."

The article notes: "For the first of serpent expert Nigel Marven's new series, he heads to Costa Rica, which has a larger range of deadly snakes than seems strictly fair. Thankfully, the Costa Rican anti-venom business appears to be going great guns. Almost as gung-ho with his handling of such creatures as the late Steve Irwin – one has to presume he knows what he's doing – he grabs hold of any snake he sees with a zesty enthusiasm, including the terciopelo pit viper, which is responsible for half the bites in the country."
