@operazek what about all the venom that came out then?

[MisuOfArabonaClan]

@operazek exactly, Mark's the man, there you could see an actual work be done. Also it's not only planted it's cooled down (abused) as well, very typical of AS's videos (ASs haha :DD fitting) anyone who handled a few hundred snakes knows that retic or that anaconda should've hurt the bastard pretty badly otherwise...he wasnt even holding the conda by the neck, all of them bites back if they're not very tame...or cooled.(at the end it barely moves)..also type Scary Short Common Lancehead

@operazek no of course not, but if hes in trouble the crew dont even bother to help him. and no i dont believe everything everybody tells me.

@DrWhoFreak100 Its TV the animals are planted... Do you really believe everything that Austin Stevens says in his show? The closest to the real thing was probably Mark O'Shea's show where he actually looks for the animals while he's filming (of coarse not every time) It's clear to me that you are a very naive person and you believe everything they tell you so I won't argue with you anymore

@operazek look everyone makes mistakes that are stupis, including steve irwin. its a risk to go out searching for venemous snakes, but its not unnecessary if its your job. not on his own? well i mean yeah hes got a film crew, but he doesnt have a team with him to deal with the animal, steve does

[operazek]

@DrWhoFreak100 Of course Irwin has done stupid things but as you said it's not his job to handle snakes. When your job is to handle snakes it's expected of you not make stupid mistakes and take unnecessary risks. Do you really think that Austin is doing this all by himself?!

[DrWhoFreak100]

@operazek "how many times has he got bit?" hmmm twice, but there was this one time where a snake lashed out and cut his finger but no venom went into austins blood. thats more of just a simple cut than a bite. but steve irwin has also done pretty stupid things, but he always has a team to help him. he is number two compared to stevens because austin does it all by himself. plus he does it because its his job

[operazek]

@DrWhoFreak100 If you knew anything about handling venomous snakes you would have realized that Stevens does some pretty stupid and life threatening things when he handles snakes. Just ask yourself "How many time has he got bit?"

[DrWhoFreak100]

@operazek ...apart from austin stevens. austin stevens has a different job to steve irwin.

[operazek]

@DrWhoFreak100 What has Stevens done for wildlife conservation? Irwin is second to nobody!
