Nat Geo.. a little dramatic?

this one isnt too "touchy" they arent talking about snake ownership or anything but i was watching this on tv and was able to find it online.. and i just couldnt help but think hes just a liiiittle dramatic haha

ok ive never been bit by a retic and i dont want to be but i do know for a fact if i am ever bitten by one and im filming a national geographic show and millions of people will see it i would act slightly less like a baby.. and it doesnt say on here but the retic turned out to be about 11 ft a big snake but by far not the biggest lol

oh and hes supposedly a world renowned herpetologist so pay attention to how scared he is before he even touches it.. i mean.. its his profession lol

He's probably scared because the director just said "Hey, get in there and get bit, could you?"
He's not afraid of the python bite, he's afraid of the nasty sewage he's standing in getting into the open wounds. Yeah, looking at it again, this is probably the most danger his life has been in--it's bunch of deep slashes that occurred in pretty much the worst conditions possible for such a thing, he really could die of a massive infection, medical care there isn't fantastic.

I have seen him in a few different ones and he is still that dramatic no matter where he is standing

thats such a pathetic "man"

lol yeah way over the top...

WOW a bit dramatic.... Steve Irwin would have just been like crikey he's an ornrey little buggah....... God I miss seeing him on tv...

Yeah, but he DID scream high when the snake bit him on the butt.

Funny I knew exactly who you were talking about before even clicking the link. Brady Barr's always been a wuss when it comes to snakes. No news there.

uuh im sorry but am i really the only one that can see why this would be scary? lol

He's in a dark cave, waist deep in muddy water so you cant see whats in there, and he's being attack by a wild retic..... im sure if anyone on this planet was in the same position as this guy they wouldnt be very calm lol

Having been bit by a retic somewhere around the same size (except a much fatter snake), a retic bite is painful. My bite was a bite. clamp and chew type.

My bite wasn't in a dark cave filled with muddy water. I've never thought this guy was a real hero, but I'm not sure I wouldn't have reacted in the same way.

Pretty dramatic. I mean come on, he is a herpetologist. Buck up a little and take some initiative. He basically had his sidekick do all the work while he screamed and tried to grab the head. There are alot of reptile keepers in our hobby that would put him to shame.

brady does have quite a high pitch sream, but that did look like it hurt a little bit. I think i would have been pretty concerned about having an open wound in muddy bat guano water as well.

I might have been scared for a number of different reasons (mainly being on TV :rofl:)...but I really don't think I would have screamed like a little girl. I would have already had the mindset that It's pretty likely I'll get bitten.

I haven't ever been bitten by a retic, but I'm sure it isn't painful enough to scream and yell like that. If I heard the this commotion without seeing it I would have thought a giant cave rock fell on him and crushed his legs. :rolleyes:

i dunno about other shows, but i was watching some strike force today with my cousin..... and in the time span of 30 min i watched the "head scientist" get scratched and stung by two of the planets most venomus species which just had me daarn near crying..

one was a rock fish and the other was a baby box jellyfish so niether were fatal but man was it funny.. that dude should be in a padded room with a helmet! :rolleye2:

I would agree if you said that there are many herpitologist's in our hobby that would put him to shame but reptile keepers would NEVER go near a wild retic that big in a situation as bad as that.

I found that although yes, a bite from a retic like that would be mad painful, he really was panicking and playing things up a lot.

Honestly, he was more panicked than the other guy with him with the whole "GET THE HEAD!" thing.

Best brady barr vid ever - cant stand the dude

Those are some VERY bad lacerations. Not only are they long enough to certainly require stitches, but they are DEEP. I don't blame the guy, that's one of the worst snake bites I've ever seen, even if the snake wasn't a 20 footer.

well I agree he was quite dramatic......he always is!! However realistically....looking at that bite ...wow it was pretty deep and he was in really nasty water...which actually was the scariest part I think!!

rofl jjmitchell - your totally right. steve irwin would've looked at brady, laughed a little and gone "aw mate you need a lesson or two in 'manning up 101!' " steve wouldnt have gone through all the "wheres the head? where's the head? got his tail? grab the tail." he would've dived right in and come up 10 seconds later going "i got his head!"
you just made me cry man, remembering steve-o. my daughter used to LOVE him! she got his movie for christmas when she was 3 and she screamed and jumped up & down all over the place. we used to watch his shows every day together on tv.
it really looks like brady was just really excited in the beginning up until he got bit. but yeah i think i'd squeal too if something grabbed me by the buttocks, lol. good thing the snake didnt get his hand though, would've shredded it with just seeing what it did to his booty.
poor guy.
but ya know what? if your in that profession, danger is what you live for.
its what steve lived for and he said it in every single episode. it's what he should always be remembered for too.

Not only did that bite probably really hurt.... did anybody not notice how close it was to his uhhhhh twig and giggle berries? He was probably thinking it might come around again and bite him there, hence the screaming of get it off me:O

monster dodge - i laughed myself darn near off my chair when i read your post...twig and dingle berries? 1st time i've heard those parts called that.

Good god. Where's Steve Irwin when you need him? :rage:
