Snake Boss is a television show available on XiveTV. The show follows extreme animal lover and snake catcher Julia Baker as she rescues, relocates, and takes care of snakes in urban areas in South Africa. She is a fearless woman who is passionate about protecting and preserving the environment and the safety of her community.

The show primarily focuses on Julia and her team's snake-catching activities in Durban and other parts of South Africa. They are called out to different locations to capture snakes, sometimes in very dangerous and challenging situations. The show does an excellent job of showing the viewers the intricacies of handling and relocating snakes, which are a common occurrence in South Africa.

The show is unique in that Julia and her team work with minimal equipment, resulting in a more organic and authentic experience for the viewers. Julia catches snakes with her bare hands, and it's intriguing to watch her handling and relocating venomous snakes with such ease. She also uses a homemade tool called a "snake stick" which helps her catch the snakes without damaging them or getting hurt herself.

Apart from the snake-catching activities, viewers of this show also get an insight into the lives of some unwanted pets such as iguanas and chameleons. Julia works with organizations that rescue and rehabilitate these pets, making sure they are released in suitable habitats. Investigating the circumstances that led to these pets being brought up as unwanted is also covered in the show.

Apart from the activities of Julia and her team, the show also touches on the societal myths and misunderstandings around snakes. The team makes efforts to educate the people in the communities they serve, appealing to them to call a professional for snakes and not attempt to capture them themselves. Some of the myths that the team tries to dispel include ideas such as killing a snake will bring good luck, snakes only bite when provoked, and that only venomous snakes are dangerous.

The show's production quality is top-notch, with great camera work that takes the viewers up close and personal to see the activities of Julia and her team. The filming style and editing make for an engaging experience and help viewers appreciate the beauty and complexity of South Africa's ecosystem.

One of the most endearing aspects of the show is Julia's passion for her work. She is a dedicated animal lover with a unique skill set and determination that are inspiring to watch. Some of her methods may appear unorthodox, such as her habit of kissing snakes to make them feel more comfortable before relocating them. Her love for animals and nature is contagious and makes the show an enjoyable watch.

In conclusion, Snake Boss is an entertaining, educational and informative show about the work of a snake catching team in South Africa. The show's production and content are of high quality and engaging, and viewers are left with a better appreciation of snakes and the environment. Julia's passion and ability to handle snakes make her an admirable person, and the added insight into the care and rehabilitation of unwanted pets makes for a more wholesome experience.
