Seriously bad practice in my opinion. Just flings them, grabs them, necks most of them! What happened to a bit of respect and using snake hooks carefully! 
I won't mention the whole story thing, because TBH, I don't he has control of that.

Is this the springbok with the longish hair? Wasnt impressed with his komodo dragon one a while ago, far too dramatised and fake- very showy and unneccessary.

I don't have the time for this guy, he just seems to aggravate the animals for show and to illustrate how 'brave' and 'in control' he is. Blah. Give me Mark O'Shea any day of the week  |

actually none of them can compare to steve irwin. they are all just showmen, at least irwin respected the things he worked with.

i agree i watched it and he's a complete n0b. the way he aggrovated the retic at the end was bad all he wanted was pictures so why did he have to man handle it big time to take snaps? yeah you might want a certain possition but why stress it for a picture? i dunno but i didnt like it. and miffikins ive met mark o'shea and he's actualy an all right guy but ive heard alot about him. from what i was told if he gets bitten one more time the anti venom wont work due to being having it too much he will be amune to it ? if this is true?

all of them are showmen they all take some risks to make it more "exciting", I dont particularly like Austin Stevens though, they make the show to look like hes some indiana jones wannabe, I do like to see the animals he "finds" and the places he goes though.
