This is why I hate television.....

yeah, the infection and resulting fever were instantaneous! he was delerious in less than 30 seconds, total shock shortly after.

that's some powerful guano! :D

I dont know the guy. Never seen his show or anything but maybe he shouldnt be in the water if he knew there were centuries of guano. I know not everyone is going to be like steve irwin and walk away smiling after being bitten but this guy should not of been in the cave with a retic and cry when he got bitten. He was pulling a wc retic out of a cave in waist deep water and not expect to be bitten. I mean what did he think the retic was going to do??? And then he crys out he has to get out of the water because he has a bad back.... Wth was he doing in there in the first place if his back is bad?????

lol, there's that guano kicking in; he got all sweaty and discombobulated... he was bat poisoned :D

lol im just saying maybe before you jump in the water and upset a large snake you should think some things through lol.

List of reasons not to get into water!!!
1. Big snake
2. dark
3. tons of bat droppings
4. BAD back
5. Drama queen
6. The snake is planning something .........

or even just be prepared to face the consequences. it's like sticking your hand in a flame. you know it's hot, so don't be too upset when you get burned.

i think his back is ok, he just suffered a "verbal typo". drama queen? jeez, i know a 13 year old who would take a bite better than that!

on top of that, i'm wondering who the genious was that thought it would be a good idea to go INTO WATER to chase WILD RETIC, and then attempt to manhandle it.

i assumed national geographic was getting into comedy....

Tell me half of you could take a bite from a snake with teeth this size and just scream for one second and then giggle "haha, there is a large snakes teeth in my leg. It is all my fault. I'm just going to wait until it lets go then skip my way out of this bat crap."

(yes I know this is not a retic but it is the best picture I could find)

The snake he got bitten by was nowhere near as big as that. Yes they do hurt when they bite but usually when most people get bitten they dont scream like they are dying they simply say a few choice words! Also it bit him and then let go. Its not like it was hanging on forever. Id bite him to if he pulled me out of my cave.

I mean come on he upset this snake so bad it was "plotting" something against them.

if he got bitten by a snake that size, i don't think he'd be screaming, i think he'd be under water....

if that small a retic is that much of a problem, i'd hate to see him try and capture a medium sized anaconda. he'd probably feint from one of those bites :P

Ben . There is this other guy on animal planet that has a show I forgot his name but he did an episode where he jumped in the water after a big green and acted like he was wrestling it out of the water and me and my wife were just laughing lol. I CANT wrestle my 6 foot green out of her cage.. There is no way that guy could of wrestled a wc green that size out of water by himself lol. Have you seen that ?

oh wow, me and my dad both are cracking up about that one. think he panicked a bit? rofl
