Keeper Bitten By Adder (Vic)

[Malley]

he just wasn't as fast as Jonno =(

Hows the view from up there? Get nose bleeds often?

 

[Duke]

I've got a feeling he's at home munching his way through a bowl of Doritos Duke, he's text me back this morning that he and the snake (very importantly) are fine :lol: And talking about cheesey things, I know he's quite cheesed off with the way the media has reported this! By accounts they've blown it out of all proportions! Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story

Join myself (David) and Moosenoose in educating the people out there that are clearly freaked over this event:

Some quotes that people have posted that [annoy] me:

"It's time to face reality and treat snakes as the menace that they are at least inside the metropolitan area."

"Now I know why my wife doesn't want snakes around the house, poisonous or not! She said that she WILL divorce me if ever I buy one... Rats are also persona non grata too...."

" Anyone else see anything wrong in the use of the words "pet" and "death adder" in the same sentence?"

 

[Mrs I]

Well we all know what he looks like now even on the news here in Adelaide, your a star !!

 

[moosenoose]

Sadly though Duke, nobody truly gets what is beind the passion in this hobby. It's literally wasted breath

 

[Mrs I]

Indeed.

 

[BlindSnake]

Sdaji, you a T.V star. just saw you on the news. Well done.

 

[caustichumor]

"Altered consciousness," That actually sounds like the way a lot of people spend there weekends!!
But that is definately something you don't want to get hooked on!!

 

[Veredus]

Wonder if he rushed straight for the camera, we all know Sdaji likes to take a good adder pic

 

[moosenoose]

"People slip over in the shower and break their neck and die or become quadriplegics. I still shower, I still drive a car and so yeah, I'll still keep death adders and love it."

Poetry in motion Sdaji ol' boy! :lol: Love it!!! hehehe

At least today has given me something fun to focus on

 

[dragon lady]

words from the man in question would be good!

 

[Nagraj]

At least he wasn't bitten on the penis.
:lol:

...Or with his pants round his ankles on the side of a road in Thailand.

So as deadly snake bites go, it is actually quite pleasant."

Comedy gold.

 

[FNQ_Snake]

Do we know what happened or how the bite occurred? Hopefully someone who knows him might be able to shed some light on the matter.

Hope he is OK.

Cheers
