Python Story on Today Tonight (2nite)

[Rattler]

just a heads up

 

[abnrmal91]

It looks like a really educational news story about snake attacks/snake safety.....lol those people are idiots

 

[Rattler]

oh yeah!! the killas are lurking everywhere...:cry:
good to check out some snake shots but

 

[Khagan]

Lol i seen the ad for it XD was hilarious, the evil music and everything. They were using a coastal and made it strike the camera and such lol.

 

[AirCooled]

I watched it and was amazed that it would be a record sized Carpet python at 4 metres,but by the end of the story it turn into a Scrubbie.Most of the 'experts' sounded like idiots.The kid does not seemed to be to traumatised,he was handling another snake at a reptile park easily.

 

[Fuscus]

It is actually a surprisingly good story, especially considering the source.

The story wasn't overly dramatised like they usually are, the Doctor guy seemed like a bit of a knob though.

I liked that they showed the snakes (at whatever park it was) being handled without any sort of negative comment, and the mention of the initial "attack" being a result of defensiveness, and a rare thing to have happened. Almost a pro-herp story.

i thought a bite and coil was due to being hungry - and a tag [ quick bite and release] was a deffensive thing ?

Lol notice the music going the whole time though? Makes me laugh =p.

 

[veenarm]

*** is this crushing bullshit?? could they use that incorrect term anymore in that story...

In any event, I am glad the child is OK as it could of definetely of killed him, however being able to eat him (if that was the snake in the video) may of been a bit of a task for the snake... (probably could of done it but would of hurt the snake as well)....

It's a much more interesting story than a EB bite could of fools though, and coodos to the man who helped save the boy by grabbing its neck etc and even better for not killing it...

I am suprised the woman didnt grab a knife and shove it in its head as I would of assumed thats what most people would of done but am very happy they didnt

 

[Tassie97]

I was quite supprised how decent it was actually...
I think this story was well done apart From them changing there minds on the species of snake lol
It wasn't the traditional killer snake story IMO

 

[Elapidae1]

Meh, they still prey on peoples fears which only creates more misunderstanding. there's been much worse but it still wasn't good.

wow, i wish carpet pythons did come in 4 metre lengths!
i hate these media stories. And after they have finished poo-pooing the snakes, they'll move on to pitbulls and rotties, then the unemployed dole bludgers, to the health crisis and then back to the deadly snakes again...
