I was lucky enough to have seen this show in high def via Dish Network. I loved it and copied it onto a DVD. My DVD recorder only records in low definition however... This is a show that, to be truly appreciated, must be seen in high definition. Seeing the incredible detail of their skin and eyes is just incredible. So, as soon as I realized it was available in the Blu-Ray format I didn't hesitate to order it.

Snakes are among the most feared and misunderstood animals we share this planet with. As this documentary shows, they really can be quite beautiful creatures! The footage is awe-inspiring and educational.

I highly recommend it!!!

There's no denying that the hi-def footage here is gorgeous, but The Beauty of Snakes has some of the worst narration I have ever heard on a documentary. The robotic woman's voice is completely emotionless and entirely in monotone. She conveys no interest, no enthusiasm, no emotion at all. It sounds like she is utterly bored with what she is saying. As a result, the viewer also feels weighed down by boredom. It is hard to stay interested in this doco because of this.

This is ridiculous, the narrator didn't mention anything worthwhile, the quality - although stunning...doesn't make up for the lack of information present here. This is a documentary for 10 year olds.

I like this documentary. It shows how intriguing snakes are. They're so beautiful. People have fear of those things, they should really understand they're just animals. God created any animals, including snakes.
