Hey, I've heard reports about you, I think it's 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'.

There you go then. In my defense I didn't sport the mullet for long, still too long though in hindsight.

Come on Boa, I know that you kept that hellish mullet and had it made into a wig, and when you think no ones looking you just cant help yourself and wear it around the house, Ive also heard confirmed reports of a mullet bearing Ashley Boa doing the grocery shopping at woolies.

When I got it all cut off the girl doing it asked if I wanted to keep it as it was about 2 feet long, I said no but wish I had now. I could use it to keep my ears warm on these long cold Queensland winter nights.

You must admit this thou Boa, its gone from a thread on handling hot herps to Boas mullet and the mullet seems to be winning, that just goes to show you how extremty frightening that mullet is.

Yes it has taken the heat out of it, maybe I should post the photo of my mullet wrestling an alligator in the Florida Everglades ?

Personally i like seeing pics likes these........it can show people who are ignorant towards snakes and show a total hate for them that these animals are not deserving of the foul reputations they have. I took a friend to see a herp meeting where elapids were free handled and he was in awe. This was a person who use to shoot them. He also said he would never consider handling them the way he was shown. There are risks with everything you do whether it be skydiving, snake handling or scuba diving. We can't make every hobby in the world foolproof or safe for people lacking in common sense. Top pics Steve, i'm still going with you next time.

WOW pugsly you are such a big man, so brave! I'm in awe of your greatness, you really must know what your doing, one question though, if you wanted to show off vens why didn't you take some pics of them on the ground?
Makes sense to me to hold them near your face :roll:
Particularly that death adder, that was so smart, i can't wait until people like you end up in hospital in intensive care, now that would be funny
BTW Stevo i don't think thats stupid, did they have funny looking scars up the side of their heads
