    Re: Who is you least fav TV herp person?
    What "bizarro' post are ya'll talking about?

    And spix, I think you're thinking of Mark O'Shea. He actually depicts the most realistic nature of field herping, but unfortunately, it doesn't make for an exciting show and he's not a very engaging speaker either. He rarely finds what he's lookign for, so its about an hour of ole Mark walking around all over creation and describing this snake no one's ever heard of before.

    I havent watch Jeff Corwin in a while, but when I did, he was probably my favorite, probably just because he made me laugh. Steve Irwin was a close second though. Steve was reckless sometimes, but his passion made up for it.

    Like I said, Mark o'Shea was just boring, and Stevens is trying too hard to be famous. Never seen this Brady Bar, but he sounds like a pansy.

    You know though if you think about it, even if there's some tv personality you don't care for, isn't it pretty cool that there's enough interest developing to have these shows even on tv. I know my 4 kids are exposed to a variety of reptiles through the efforts of these people that I truly appreciate. Some of them I don't care for as far as their delivery, but I really applaud the exposure they give these creatures that are often so misunderstood. :)

    Good lord. I just watched that brady barr video.

    "AYAGHAAAAAAAAA!!"

    *dramatic flail, worthy of broadway*

    "I got a really bad bite! I got a really bad bite! I got a really bad bite! I got a really bad bite! I got a really bad bite!"

    What a freakin' pansy. I gave birth and I screamed less than that dude.

    Austin Stevens, hands down the biggest retard when it comes to boids....at least in my opinion. I think along those same lines, Brady Barr. That Retic he took a bite from wasn't even that large. I mean, come on...my little brother would have taken that bite better :8:

    Mark O'Shae is one of the worlds most respected authorities on the Rock Python species. He knows his stuff! The reason he doesn't find what he's looking for as frequently as the others, is he doesn't stage his captures; unlike most other television-based herpetologists. I personally love his shows :D

    Apparently the bizarro post was removed.
    Anyway, love the spix comment about birth. When he showed the "really bad bite" part, I was yelling "You pansy!" at the tv. Jeff Corwin is silly at times, but I like to watch him, since the silly voices he does make me laugh.

    I thought Brady Barr overreacted quite a bit as well, but the bite did turn out to be pretty bad. Probably much worse than it would have been if he had just remained calm instead flailing about like a lunatic. As bad as the bite was, though, I still have very little sympathy for him. I can't see any respectable herp "expert" placing themselves in that type of situation... grabbing a medium sized retic out of a hole in a cave while waist deep in mud/feces water. :rolleyes:

    I cant stand Brady Barr but I still watch the show.

    I really like Jeff Corwin and of course Steve Irwin although I haven't watched his show since his death just to sad.

    Wasn't it Brady Barr who hid himself in some sort of ridiculous rhino suit at some point? All I could think of was....

    "good lord but you better hope it's not mating season you crazy fool!" :rofl:
