Favourite Snakeman?

[eladidare]

Who is your favourite snakeman? eg. Steve Irwin, Eric Worrell, John Weigel etc

Very interested to see peoples opinions on this, I would have to say someone like Rick Shine for his herp knowledge and guys like Charlie Tanner, George Cann, John Cann, Eric Worrell etc, because they really knew how to handle snakes.

[HoffOff]

[Legally_Red]

Steve Irwin, now and forever.

 

[caustichumor]

I didn't mind Steve Irwin, He might have pissed off a fair share of the animals he handled but I doubt he ever injured any... However I like any handler who can control the animal safely without a pair of BBQ tongs....

steve irwin described himself as a croc man actually, i do love the man though

how can you pick one fav snake man theres a few that are very loved by most herpers?

the canns are the ones who introduced most of us to the old skool snake handling shows
so id have to say george and john cann as favourites
and what about neville burns?
he is a true character bless him

 

[Isis]

Tim Nias gets my vote.

 

[sacred_DUC]

Tim Nia's good man big lose never got chance to meet him but did get to chat online with him quite reguarly in chat room

Rob Bredl
Graeme Gow
David Williams

 

[m.punja]

Gow. Worrel. Nias. Old man Bredl. All the old school herpers who went around chasing vens without any known anti venom get my thumbs up any day.

What was the name of that young fella who was the first to catch a taipan for research?

 

[hawktime]

Anthony Stimson is the best ive seen, cathching anything without raising a heart beat.
Top bloke too !!!

Jeff Corwin , Steve Irwin, Rob Bredl

Steve Irwin was the king, he helped put aussie on the map. I even named my first snake after him.
