[bluetongued]

I dragged my son with me so as not to look to keen...got in the que........had the book signed and had photo taken.........as we were walking away David (my son) says fairly loud......'WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE AUSTIN POWERS'!!!!!!!!........Not sure if he heard.....but I was giggling all the way home......Yea Baby!!!

btw...I have made him get rid of the silly hair cut now...bribed him with a ps2 game!!

Showed my family the picture and some thought he was a girl...and my gran said he was a bit of alright!!!...she is 84!!!

How old is he do you think..I reckon he is older than he looks but looks really young!!!

Austin Stevens. What a joke, can't stand these people ya see on tv these days. His shows just seem so script. I don't watch his shows much but i remember the one about him trying to find out which snake bit Cleopatra. Personally i would have looked in an encylcopedia to find that one out, its easier.

Makes ya really appreciate steve irwin.

i never heard of him until i got here. i never watch snake shows very often. most are just so basic. same stuff all the time usually. i do like seeing some herping trips and have watched irwin a few times. i liked when he came to america and went herping. i liked seeing him get all excited about places i've been to. we have some good stuff here. but i respect irwin.

Also much as I did like Erwin, the fact that (I'm pretty sure about this), he said that no one should keep reptiles as pets, they should only be in the wild or a zoo. Well this did strike me as a bit narrow minded, ok great if your family owns a zoo but if not then your chance of getting close to any of the animals you are fascinated with is pretty low.

Agree, If his daughter can keep a corn what difference is there to us keeping one? And didn't he keep a pet scrup python at 6 years old? I still think he is great though!

oh, i've seen that guy before! isn't he the one who tries to stick a camera into the face of a king cobra and stuff? no offence to any of his fans but i've seen him do some truly idiotic things with the hot snakes, if it's the same guy. if i'm right, he's been a bad example at times. i'm not nit picking but even I, would'nt take some of those chances
