Did you know

• All the venomous snakes featured were authentic and the cast actually did have to interact with them for filming. Only in the shot where Strother Martin grabs the king cobra's head during the show was a puppet snake used.

• The cast was considerably nervous about interacting with the live snakes. Star Heather Menzies said she was able to "steel" her nerves to work with her scaly co-stars during filming and forgot her original apprehension, but after the production wrapped, she reverted back to her original fear of snakes.

• The mongoose in the movie was actually a tayra, a member of the weasel family native to tropical areas of Central America and South America.
