Legion, do you have one of these in your collection?

[LEGION]

one mroe question.


whose approach to handling snakes do you like (or approve of) more: Steve Irwin (ie, gently by the tail and with a branch) or Jeff Corwin (by the neck with his metal stick)?

I once saw that British guy (big red gotee) say something about how crazy handling them by means other than by the back of the neck was. He didn't outright mention Irwin, but you could kind of fill in the blanks and tell that he was refering to Irwin..

Ironically, that guy (name?) had been filmed gettig tagged and taken to the hospital and in deep trouble. Irwin, despite the freak accident with the ray, was never once bitten by a venomous snake.

That's Mark O'Shea I used to love watching him, weird little skinny fella who would leap topless out of his canoo into some minging swampland disappear under water and pull out a 30 ft long Anaconda. That dude was crazy!

I already told him it was Mark O' Shea He is very respected in the reptile community, though him telling people his method is the only way is dumb, seeing as how he has been bitten several times. There is a vid on youtube of O 'Shea almost getting whacked by a zebra cobra, a fairly new identified species.
