I don't think it's fake but if they are captive snakes and he got bitten by one he realy sucks:?
Yes he does suck.
The Aussie episode used a few snakes off some members here. He's there to make shows for people that don't know any better....and it is working by the sound of it.
The Anaconda one was his greatest moment as a poser- playing with in in a muddy creek, then the super duper BS shots under the crystal clear water. Also, doing the rip off Tarzan move swinging on the vine to get a Gabboon that just happened to be swimming was pretty sad. Now you mention it, it may not be fake.
