Steve Irwin

Cheeky!
Props to Steve Irwin.
I love Irwin and Corwin
And yes Steve started keeping snakes when he was just a young lad.
I just saw a show all about him and growing up and meeting his wife etc
with his mum and dad.
His parents started that zoo when he was a kid.
Great stuff!

Steve might be a little over the top, and of course we don't want our kids thinking they can go out and pick up wild snakes, but one thing he does far better than anyone else is foster an appreciation for reptiles. He LOVES the herps he works with and encounters in the wild, and that love comes across in his intense enthusiasm. He is THE GUY when it comes to teaching people to appreciate, not fear, reptiles.

And of course, being a woman, I love the fact that his wife is just as involved as he is.

Or maybe have a little page for him to add articles and ask him questions or what not. I was really just making it a long shot because I lovvveee steve irwin, he is great. So anyway, I just checked my mail and got a letter from the australia zoo. It wasn't from him but from his associates and it said that steve will definetley check the website out and get back to me!!!

Nice going Justin! Lets hope he pays us a visit! I think Irwin and Corwin both rule. Irwin&Corwin :lol:

Awsome dude Irwin is what really got me into snakes. However being one of my favs i must say i'm a huge fan of Rob Bredl or however its spelt LOL and Corwin. Killer Instinct and Croc Hunter never miss LOL., and if Steve does visit and reads this forum post. Cheers to ya Mate your a legend among us.

rob bredl is cool. i was watching croc hunter and i swtiched over and saw him sitting on the back of a 20 foot croc and started laughing. Steve is still my idol though.

It would be pretty amazing if any of those guys decided to cruise our site and post once in a while. I think our small size actually gives us an advantage because a busy person doesn't have to spend hours here each day to stay fairly caught up...and so long as we're relatively small, a celeb posting here (hopefully) wouldn't be overwhelmed with hundreds of responses and PM's just because he's a celebrity.
