You would be lucky to handle any venomous rescue for more than a few seconds if at all. About as long as it takes to drop it into a hoop bag.

| | | | that guy would have to be one of the biggest tools Ive ever seen!!!
for a start i wouldnt have a clue where he picked up those techniques, but also why does he count every snake he catchs'?
he must be on the biggest ego trip ever!!!
but from now on everyone when ya catchin snakes.....
break their backs by standing on em and jabbin em with brooms and tongs,
then parade around with it like your gods gift and its just another notch in ya belt,
then throw it in container like its a rubber snake......ya cant go wrong!!!!! |

It is an eastern brown and I for one will be contacting NSW Parks & Wildlife on Monday about this incident. .
If we were caught by Dept of Sust. & Environment in Victoria handling a snake like that we would be hung , drawn & quartered & deservedly so.
On top of all that he describes that as rescuing the snake ???
I wonder how good a snake catcher he really is without his snake tongs and his offsider.
Also now that snake will probably die from extensive internal injuries if it hasnt died already.
Well done Barry for bringing this to our attention.

Should have been tailed straight out and straight into a bag, takes no more than ten seconds. He didnt even have to contend with the pointy end when he got there, the snake was already restrained!
This guys had too many people dribbling about how brave he is and now belives it.

|  | Friend of huey Subscriber | | | | | I had a look at the vid, then got side tracked because Steve irwins 10 most deadliest snakes was on you tube right there too.Big difference, BIG DIFFERENCE.
I cant remember that dollystroppers name, but fair dinkum i'd like to boot him fair up the backside and wrap those bandages around his head.
I am making a complaint to the NPWS, The only thing I can give him credit for is telling everyone to stand back.

That is nothing short of total and utter incompetence. He has absolutley NO idea at all.
Anyone who has to use a pair of tongs to catch a snake should not be catching them, simple as that, let alone standing on the poor thing. This guy seriously needs to be removed from catching snakes, hes an accident waitting to happen. unbelivable.!!
The guys nothing but an incompetent cowboy, the writting on the boots gives him away as well.
fuscus, browns get considerably larger than that fellow, ive seen a handful well over 8 feet and as thick as your arm, absolutlely huge., besides byron bay is quite a few hundred kms away from the closest mula population.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-05 Location: melbourne australia Age: 45 | | | | I reckon the snake was already dead when he measured it along the side of the car..
the snake at the end that you can see in the box would probably be a different one...
