Friday’s episode, titled “Rattlesnake in My Car”, follows the “Venom One” team as they find a rattlesnake swimming in a residential pool and another rattlesnake hiding in the depths of a woman’s car, waiting to strike.

The episode premiering on August 3, titled “Snake Bitten Kids”, highlights the dangers that poisonous snakes pose to children. The team responds to a child bitten by a coral snake and goes into a coma, and it hits home when a “Venom One” member must treat a member of their family that was bitten by a water moccasin.

The final episode to air on Discovery Channel is titled “Killers on the Loose” and will be shown on Friday, August 10, at 10 p.m. This episode features the invasion of the venomous lionfish in the waters off the coast of Florida.

New episodes of SWAMP WARS will return to their regular home, Animal Planet, on August 17.
