One of the best shows ever. Jim is hardcore and tells it like it is. And he's a fountain of information.

He's one guy Id definitely like to see come back for a part II. Wild stuff.

:yessir:

I agree. I think it was smart to hold him over for an extra 20mins.. Brady Barr got told..lol

I didnt know who Brady Barr was to tell you the truth. So this morning I searched for him on YouTube and came across that video where he gets but by...a retic I believe?

I dont like to name call but Id have to concur with Mr. Harrison. The guy is a buffoon.

that was a great show !!!
that guy rocks, get that man an encore !
definately make you think before gettin' that first hot.
if he comes on again i'd like to ask him about heloderma.
ck

I wanted to ask that too!

Encore! Encore!

I wanted to ask that too!

Encore! Encore!

great minds can imagine changing the same substrate at some point in the future !
( just my version of the cliche' great minds think alike dribble, not in any way trying to imply anything great is going on between my ears... )

Thanks fellas..:cheers:

That was a great show, wealth of information!!!

Keep up the good work guys!

Alan

Alan

I know thats some crazy dough.. All with zero love from the homies..:nono:

Thanks brother.. You like venomous stuff Jas?

Hell yea! But do I keep any? Hell No!! I respect them to much for them to be around someone like me.. They might get hurt LOL!:wamma:

great show guys! wealth of info. I personally dont keep hots but I still love to hear about people who do......I also liked his take on some of the reptile tv show people I dont know if I agree with him about Irwin but some of the other guys he was dead on about.....Anyway great show

I believe the quote was "Steve Irwin is the Harlem Globetrotters of herpetology".

Hmmm...

Here's my take on it. And Ill say right out I was and am an Irwin fan.

Yes, he was flamboyant. He was a showman. Yes, he took crazy chances. Yes, sometimes he disturbed the animals and stressed them out in order to get a good shot. And maybe not all the information he gave was 100% accurate.

Perhaps by his example he encouraged people to run around grabbing rattlesnakes and tackling crocodiles. But that falls under a different category in my opinion. Thats like blaming Marilyn Manson for a high school shooting. If someone watches Steve Irwin and goes out, grabs a snake and gets bit can you REALLY blame Irwin for that?

On the good side. He brought reptiles to a whole new audience. My mother, who detests anything that isnt furry and answers to "Fifi" used to watch his show with me on occasion and marvel at the animals. He was passionate. He moved people, he got their attention and he got them interested. Thanks to him a lot of people now think crocs are cool and would like to have them around. He got people interested in conservation. I believe overall he was a positive influence on the hobby and reptiles in general.

Plus he got bit on the nose by a bearded dragon. Cool. He dedicated his life to these animals.

I liked him. I miss him. Just my opinion I know others wont agree and thats just fine. I also realize he was not loved by the scientific community and the "real" herpetologists. But he was tireless. He risked his life to show off these animals as best he could. And he took chances. And as we all know he took one too many. Strange that he was brought down by a stingray and not a croc. I believe he said in an interview that he cant allow himself to be taken out by a croc because too many people would say I told you so! Well, he kept that promise.

He was fun to watch. I dug the accent, the catch phrases, the excitement he generated.

Just my opinion. Take it as you will.

great show guys! wealth of info. I personally dont keep hots but I still love to hear about people who do......I also liked his take on some of the reptile tv show people I dont know if I agree with him about Irwin but some of the other guys he was dead on about.....Anyway great show

Crickie!!! dude was a TOOL!

You will not get an argument from me thats for damn sure. Irwin did what needed to be done in order for it to be mainstreamed on network tv.. Amen to him for all that he did and continues to do even in passing for this industry. We owe him much credit

Rip mate..

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a fan of irwin because he brought me back into reptiles he reminded me just how cool and beautiful these animals are. His pasion is unmatched. most of these guys on tv don't impress me but there was something specail about steve!!!!!

I liked the show. My wife was watching the Brady Barr thing when he got bite and we both couldn't believe the scream. :yourock: Great show overall. I love hots have worked with a few and will eventually get some Gilas.

Steve Irwin was great for herps in general.. He generated alot of money and press for conservation.. He will be missed..

Alan

Just listened to the show, that's one tough SOB!

I missed the show but caught it tonight I had a quick question about the people who inject venom into therselves. He was talking about a horse only living 4 years what about Bill Haast he's 94 years old and still injecting?
