What a trooper Dick Gobbler. See a few snakes in Oxford St do ya mate? Idiot.

I'm sure all these shovel merchants would love to be infested with rodents instead of living in a world with snakes, and sharks, oh and bees, dont like bees, and wasps and...........

Wow, I don't think I'd be discharging myself from hospital after being bitten by a brown. I'd wait at least a day to get back out there, just to make sure I was ok. But still, what a trooper!
he he, dick gobbler...with a name like that no wonder he's a jerk

Im amazed at some of the comments from people below the article ... wow idiots are taking over

"Snakes are in plague proportions and hardly in need of protection laws." Lisa

"I'm from the old school and reckon the only good snake is on draped over a barbed wire fence till sundown." BTT

i reckon we should drape this BTT fella over barbed wire fence.... till 5 or 6 sundowns

People are ignorant. Regardless in WHAT field your interested in (in our case, snakes and reptiles) most... MOST People follow stupid ignorant rants and doings just like their father, and their fathers father etc etc.

"Son, The only good snake is a dead one." etc.... I'm sure if eastern brown venom was refined and (this is purely hypothetical FYI) and used to save his child from leukaemia, the guy would be praising snakes forever. People are ignorant SOB's... enough said.
