Evening all.
Today for the 1st time, i went down to La Peruse and saw the "Snake man" i feel ashamed to call myself a herper, being that i have been in Sydney two years and havn't seen the show.
John Cann was awesome, he started his show by showing some of his lizzards, he had shingle backs, bearded's and water dragons.
Then he went on to passing around his carpet python, (bout 5ft) which was truly the most placid thing ever. very good looking also. Then he got a little kid from the audience (about 4yrs old) to "help" pull his coastal out, this snake would have had the kid for lunch, if it wasn't so well fed and looked after.
Truely the most amazing part is the way he handles his ven's, 1st a copperhead, then 2 browns. the speed of which these things moved at him, was amazing he was not tagged, and the snake was trying. Lastly he pulled out a couple of tiger snakes, beautiful they were. They also tried to have a go at him.
Now for those who have not heard of him, please don't think he is just some moron getting dangerous snakes out in front of the kiddies. 70% of his show is spent discussing the charastics of each snake, showing how to idenitfy the good from the bad. Also gives some interesting stories and facts about snake bite victums and how to avoid being tagged.
Please for those who are not a fan, start your own thread bagging him out. I personally thought the show to be very interesting and informative.
For those interested, he performs on Sundays and Public Holidays, with show's starting at 1pm (approx) He also has a book out called " Snakes Alive" which he sells at the show.
