Worst Reptile "Story"

[Greebo]

Oh god! Thats gross.
I have another story.
I was barrelling down a narrow dirt track on my motorbike. I realised too late that the branch lying across the track was in fact a brown snake.(Branches don't normally rear up and strike at you).
It was too late to stop and the track was to narrow to swerve.Let me tell you , it's not easy riding a motorbike with your feet above your head.

That's not funny as hell. That sucks. What was the out come?

The outcome was that he found it difficult to order five beers.
Sorry - couldn't resist.

I love the story in the alan cann / snakes alive.
The bushie is showing off the dead snake, in a jar, that bit his finger, he amputated his finger and had his severed finger in the bottle with the dead snake.
Proud as punch, until it was pointed out that it was actually harmless.

I havent met Alan. I'll ask John who he is next time I see him. Might be a cousin or something.

Im pretty sure its father/son, Maybe it was John who wrote the book, Im not sure now but it is an awesome book about the pioneers of the herp scene.
How they coped with our tiger snakes and the venom etc. Its a great read.
One Irishman imported a ship full of dirt from Ireland and had a trench around his property filled with Irish dirt becuase he believed it would keep the snakes out.
Some of the early guys who produced their own cures for snake bite and accepted the bite to prove it, through to the side shows etc.
Fantastic Read if you get a chance.

Dear Mr. Irwin,
In the name of good taste I removed the parts of your post that could be offensive to members or unsuitable for younger members. Please try and keep some sort of good taste in your humour. Don't mean to offend you but I really do consider that unsuitable for the site. Sorry.

Heres some beauties ive heard time and time again.
A horse hair rope laid across a snakes path will break its back as it tries to crawl over it.
Injured snakes don't die until sunset.
Death Adders have a sting in their tail.
Milk attracts snakes.
The dreaded "hoop snake" can actually bite its tail, shape itself into a hoop and roll downhill after you.
If you kill a snake it's partner will seek revenge and hunt you down.

The sad thing is people who tell you these things really believe their true :shock:

 

[S.Irwin]

This Brendan kid once told me his mate fed a shetland pony to his Olive Python.

 

[iluvsmyreptiles]

OMG Lol....Must be the biggest damn Olive Python in the world.

 

[Fuscus]

I've heard of Brendans olive, its 49.75 feet long, weights 460 kilos and shrinks when it sees a tape measure

(Hope Brendan has a sense of humor)

[Rina]

Don't know how much can be put into this one but growing up in the bush, heard quite a number of mums claiming that snakes were attracted to the smell of breastmilk.

 

[Bendragon]

<Translation> Hi, I'm really young, can you tell ? <End Translation)

 

[Rina]

Ohh.. no further explanations needed. Gosh must be getting old when I am no longer savvy with the current slang. :wink:

 

[Slateman]

[Fuscus]

Funny - when I said things like that when I was a kid they used to reduce my medication
