for a supposed reptile lover, he wasnt too concerned about fatty throwing the snake off his neck. Imagine if the snake injured (or broke) its back.....I'm sure Irwin would replace it with another "IMPORT" :x
 
What happened was steve bought out a big retic and a question in going going goooonnnneee was asked- "How long would this retic take to kill fatty?". One of the guys said lets find out and so they proceded to wrap it around fatty.

It kind of started to constrict so they took it off and Steve completely forgot about the snake and it fell to the floor. He basically dropped a large retic from about a height 1.5m high.

Regards Alex
 
it was only about 20% of the snake hit the ground and it was the back end, it sounded bad as the they were on a stage(not only is it wood it also has a big gap under neath and there are lots of mic's) i think the stupid thing was letting the rattle snake out and letting it slid aroud with no control over the snake.
 
It looked like it wasn't steve's animals

the handlers were Jackie & Paddy from the ARP.
 
i just think it was accadent, and they happen9not that i have hurt any of my animals ever) in just saying.

Still are careless thing to do.
 
I would agree that 'ol stevo was a bit rough with the retic, probably not to bright to wrap one around someones neck either but how about that pit viper that got outa the bag?....did he find it? or was it a wind-up?
And regarding the rattlesnake, well....U IDIOT STEVO!!
 
I reckon it was just a windup, and yeh he was being very stupid with the rattler. Trying to piss it off so it would rattle etc. and letting it move towards the boys without even having a hand on it.
 
Its showbiz, remember that, Wouldnt be surprised if the rattler was a venomoid. Give the guy a break, sheesh.
 

Thats even worse.

You say give a break to a guy who is the biggest fraud the reptile community has seen. He deserves no break in my opinion. He lies all the bloody time and really isn't such an animals guru. Just last week on "Crocodile Hunter Diaries" he claimed that bats have great eyes. Thats funny, bats a are blind.

ether,

the rattler was NOT venomoid. It is an ARP rattler.

also not all bats are blind. Flying Foxes have excellent eyesight.
 
I never said it was a venomoid. Read the post properly, Bouncer said it was probably a venemoid, not me.

hahaha, someone should keep their little mouth shut unless they have something productive to say...
 
Steve is a great bloke he does know his stuff I just think his acting gets in the way of it !
Yeah i didnt think they were blind no point in having eyes if they dont work at all :lol:
