Video Free Handling RBB

[marcus0002]

Just found this on YouTube. Not sure if I would be game enough to free handle like this guy does but cool video nonetheless

It's because of crap like this that 'snake people' are labeled Bogans.

Holding snakes makes you a bogan?

 

[pseudechis4740]

Putting across the message that elapids can be free handled like this for no other reason than self gratification makes you a bogan. At least the snake handlers in the Apalachians do it under the guise of religion this clown does it for no other reason than to make himself look intelligent. BOGAN

And how many times does he say "it's like a cobra, its the same venom and same family as a cobra, we don't get cobras in Australia, but its the closest thing we have to a cobra"? Bogan doesn't begin to describe it.

If you don't know who those people are please keep your crappy opinions to yourself. Paul and Leeann are very nice, down to earth people.

I'm not sure if RBB's are cosely related to cobras (I mean it isn't like there is a close resemblance in name as you have it with e.g pseudonaja species, even so this doesn't mean evolutionary closeness (for want of a better word) but only that whoever named psudonaja/ pseudoechis thought they possessed characteristics of naja and echis respectively...I probably wouldn't handle a ven, period, but he seems to "know" the snake, not sure how this makes him a bogan? I think maybe those who call out others on that may have to think about themselves first in order to avoid the pot calling he kettle black....

He correctly states that this animal and cobras are in the same family.
He is cool, calm and collected whilst supporting the body of a terrestrial snake at ground level.
He demonstrates knowledge gained through wild and captive observation.
I wouldn't film myself doing this because of twits making ridiculous assumptions, but other than that I really cannot fault him.

and bogan? surely the real aussie thing to do would be make a film of yourself decapitating the animal with a spade.

RBBS - Elapid
Cobra - Elapid

Do you know the venom components and effects of both RBBS and all of the different cobra venom to say otherwise?

What a contradictory comment.

 

[andyoz]

RBBs are very cool headed, I would rather 'free handle' a RBB than a nasty jungle

 

[marcus0002]

Regardless of what peoples opinions each way are, its still an interesting vid, not something you see every day. Did anyone see the one he did with the death adder?

 

[Timmy-Morelia]

I speak to the guy in the video he said he trusts his snakes more then his wifes horses

 

[marcus0002]

A horse can kill you with one kick. I show them just as much respect as I would to vens.

 

[cleobhp]

Wow nice snake. I could handle him any day of the week lol. Oh wait a min, I do.lol

 

[cleobhp]

You are right Marcus a horse can kill you as a matter of fact I have almost had my life ended by a horse. And yet I still own them.

King Brown snake free handling - YouTube Could you handle this one any day of the week? Amazing to watch someone else do it but I don't think I would be too keen on doing it myself.
