This guy is cool! I've been watching his shows religiously for about three years now, and I can't wait to see the film nest week!
Anyone else like him?

We decided he is offically insane. "This is the most poisoneous snake in the world and it's really grumpy so I'm gonna jump on it"
:eek:
No! I was watching greenday play the same set they have for years. I wish I had known he was going to be on though!
Just watched three one hour episodes on Discovery!
He's great. And mad.
He said in an episode last night that he will probably be run over by a bus and die doing something really normal.
However, I think an ironic death might be more fitting because he's great!
He called his daughter Bindi - Sue (Bindi after a croc and Sue after his dog) poor kid!
That film looks piss-funny, I saw a clip were he's fighting some guy on the roof of a Jeep, knocks this guy off so he's just holding a rope dragging behind, and then he gets a snake out of a bag and it bites the guy!
His pet croc is called "Agro" too... you gotta love him!
Indeed Steve, a real stunner.
well fucking hell, unless somebody has started giving the teeth of crocs a quick polish then i'd say your wrong.
and I'd assume you don't know much about the field of herpatology. I'm not saying he's not good. The fact that he hasn't been bitten by a venomous snake yet speaks for itself. But he's not the best. Its his vibrant entertaining presentation that sells and his close calls with danger. There are planty in the field with his talent and better though and they all respect what he's doing for conservation and public education.
Well, you know we can argue on for ages about whether he "is the best" or whether he is just a good entertainer, but at the end of the day, he is fucking smart when it comes to these creatures, and he is very good at observing their ways of living/reacting/being!!! :mad:
I agree whole heartedly!
Goddamit that's my death, I'm the one that's going to get run over my a milk float or bus - it even says so in my yearbook....
i suppose that was cause he made aussies look like bogans
Yes, well everyone starts out as a nobody don't they. :rolleyes:
I don't think of him as representing the Australian people.
Well who is the best herpetologist then in your opinion?

I don't care how much immunity one has you don't want to be bit by one of these guys. I have two at home. They are African Gaboon vipers and have the longest fangs of any snake measuring up to 2 inches and a strike so fast that it never misses anything in range.
sorry I was doing more research and found this which I thought was pretty cool
