Other than to prove that you are a moron of epic proportions, this proves what precisely – oh yes, you are incredibly stupid with an intellect less then that of an ant, sorry that is derisory to ants…. what an imbecile.

think considering the circumstances it is admarable.

there are not many of us that would put our lifes on the line to try and raise money to help others.

posing for them pics may seem a shocking thing to do, but considering this guy is sharing a room with these snakes day and night the risk is ever present any ways, so why not get some breath taking shots and try and prove that these creatures are not as bad as people make them out to be.

If you wish to highlight issues, raise funds etc, that is all very laudable, however, stunts such as this are pointless stupidity. So what happens when some kids thinks ‘I know it cool to give mambas a drink’ gets nailed and dies, what does that do for reptile keeping world wide! Sure you can say ‘don’t do this at home etc’ but they do…. Sorry I think such stunts are entirely unhelpful, and are more to do with ego than any thing else.

ohwell...
i suppose its the same as skydiving...as the parachutte may not open n u die
or diving with sharks..there pissed, u die
or runnin a marathon...how do u no u aint gonna drop down dead

so as for the danger in it, well its in everything...minor or major BUT it raises money for a good cause, under supervision etc
an as for kids well all we can do is educate em an there parents n if they choose to not listen to parents etc well then what can we do!!!

What I find interesting is that Eric was slammed for his venomous handling yet people are giving this guy respect? Regardless of whether it's for charity or not, this to me is far more dangerous and irresponsible than what Eric was doing, at least eric has the snakes in his hand and they can't hide!

I just thank God that it's not in this country! Completely irresponsible, why can't he do a sponsored bike ride instead? If Eric had done his handling for charity would that make it any less dangerous? Would you have pat him on the back and said 'well done' instead of calling him an idiot?

it is actually funny you say that, cos I thought it yesterday when I was reading an american forum. Still though it can never be condoned either way really.
