Yeah, I thought he was a bit complacent too - walking very close to them, putting his foot on their tails to get them to strike at him. Admittedly, they're his snakes, he knows them, they're probably used to doing the shows, and it was cold. But he never really made any safety comments or "never try this yourself" type of thing. He did say you can't successfully tail an Eastern Brown or a Tiger Snake, but then did just that. And he just reached down and grabbed his copperhead on the neck without pinning it, but again didn't say "don't ever do this".

There was a couple of other presentation points I would have done differently, but overall it was an entertaining show for the audience. A great deal of information was imparted, a few good stories, and some myths were dispelled. The audience seemed to enjoy it; I didn't see anyone leaving halfway through.
