Crocodile Hunter's Son Bitten By Baby Boa

[Dr. Strange]

NEW YORK -- Could it be another crocodile hunter in training?

Robert Irwin, the 4-year-old son of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin wasn't at all alarmed when he was recently bitten by a baby boa constrictor, according to his mother.

Irwin's widow, Terri, said Monday at an appearance at FAO Schwarz with her two children that he picked one of them up and it bit him on the finger. She said he was so proud to have "copped his first hit."

1. Ehhh, I've Been Bit By Them Tons Of Times. No Biggie Really.

[RebelOne]

I have owned 2 boas and I can't count the times I have been bitten.

But big boas can give nasty bites as their teeth are razor sharp.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

7. True. They Can. But Usually They Won't Attack That Aggressively.

I miss having boas actually. I used to love my baby columbians once upon a time.

[quip]

11. I had Columbian boas as well, and never was bitten by them.

Now, mind you, they were just the common ones, not true red tails, or any other variety, which I believe tend to be more aggressive.

I always wanted to own a Dumeril's, but they were always too expensive; now they are relatively cheap, but I am no longer interested in keeping snakes. :(

13. You owned snakes?

Oh I soooo want to make a comment here about one's personal serpents..but I won't.......:rofl:
(I just noticed something..my pev level seems to increase when you are around...):D

[quip]

14. Yes, at my peak I owned about ten (don't think my collection went up to 11;)

When I was a kid, I would spend my summers catching turtles and snakes. I've had many different kinds of herps; my last being a 6 foot Iguana I kept for a guy for about a year.

Now you listen here, missy. I cannot be held responsible for your pev status. It is always there; it's just that I am somehow able to liberate it from your inner self!

:rofl: :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

15. Dude!

About damn time you got back!

[TZ]

16. Yeah!

I haven't been in the mood for nekkid yoga fer a few days....:evilgrin:

[Dr. Strange]

19. How can anyone NOT be in the mood for nekkid yoga?

That's like saying, "Oh, I'm not in the mood to breathe today." Please!

[quip]

21. Well, if my return faciliates and promotes nekkid yoga, then by all means I'm baaaack. Let the

stretching begin!

[Dr. Strange]

22. Have you caught up yet?

23. Wow! Celebrity nipples. It doesn't get any better than that!

But, upon reflection, is it just me, or is posing nekkid as a dead Hollywood icon seem a little creepy at the least, macabre at best? :shrug:

It ruins the joy of the nipples. x(

[TZ]

26. Be sure to be around tonight.

I just remembered a very interesting picture of mine that should be of interest....:evilgrin:

[quip]

27. I'm out for dinner tonite, but I'll definitely be checking in.

:D

[quip]

28. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

It looks like it was a fun weekend. I'm off to work on my latest work piece in my "homage to nipples" series.... :thumbsup:

[Dr. Strange]

29. Sweet!

In DD Minor, I presume?

[quip]

30. which I always find is really the fullest of all sizes really. I don’t know why, but it makes guys

drool instantly....

2. I guess it's the only life that Terri Irwin knows. She has to support her children.

No use being judgmental. If he were my son, it definitely would not work for me.

I've learned my lesson in this forum. Keep out of discussions of other people's lifestyles and cultures. Especially what they are doing with their own children.

Cordially,

17. It seems to be a life her and her children enjoy

She wasn't exactly forced into things.

25. Animals are not toys

And certainly not toys for unsupervised four-year-olds. And yeah, I've been bitten too, and I probably deserved it.

I have mixed feelings about the Irwins, and their (Hunter Thompson) "Gonzo" approach to wildlife.

3. Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

[MissB]

4. Of course.

Not at all shocking, considering that seems to be the life she has chosen for both of her kids. Whatever floats your boat.

[Radio_Lady]

5. I used to wonder about the Flying Wallendas -- circus acrobats.

What a life to be born into... but they had a big family bond.

It was a tradition and an income.

8. Yeah, that would suck. Especially if you were afraid of heights.

:rofl:

But at least the Irwins seem to have an environmental bent to life. I could live with that.

[Radio_Lady]

9. Yes, that is true.

:hi:

6. Can't wait until he cops a hit from a great white shark.

Let's see how proud he'll be then.

[DS1]

12. What's Al Bundy doing swimming?

[Dr. Strange]

20. Trying to sell shoes to the shark.

He once sold four pairs of shoes in one football game!

10. I try to keep in mind that they live at a zoo! It sounds crazy to us

but is the norm for them! I wouldn't dare let my child play with a snake but I hate to judge them. I guess a kid could as easily get bitten by a dog or cat. At least it didn't constrict his neck!!!!

18. In other news, crossdressing hunk sounds bitter 'bout beige Boa!

[CottonBear]

24. Oh my! He is so cute! It's so sad that he'll never know his father.
