I have and it's definitely an interesting show (I had a feeling someone would bring it up!). Of course, I don't think they are in a whole lot of danger; when journeying ashore, teams usually consist of wildlife biologists and members of the Brazilian Navy. Medical teams are also on standby. That's of course not to say it isn't dangerous, but no one gets on that island legally without a lot of assistance and supervision!
What a crazy place! Even with the diminished numbers...That is still a lot of deadly snakes hanging out in trees. :)
