The Snake Hunters

Documentary Series

Stuart McKenzie’s job is both thrilling and dangerous. As a professional snake catcher in Australia — home to the world’s deadliest snakes — his mission is clear: protect people from venomous reptiles like the Eastern Brown Snake and Coastal Taipan, species capable of killing with a single bite.

Stuart runs one of the largest snake-catching businesses on the continent, safeguarding the densely populated Sunshine Coast where dangerous encounters are frequent.

But for Stuart, Australia is just the beginning. His ambition takes him to snake-infested regions around the world — from capturing King Cobras in India to Black Mambas in Africa and rattlesnakes in the United States.

With every new adventure, Stuart risks his life to protect others, turning his passion for snakes into a global mission.
