RE: The Day Australia Wept 💔 Saying Farewell to Aussie Legend Steve Irwin may he RIP
WOW!
You linked my post!
Thanks, and I appreciate it. I wish we had wild pythons here. Aren't **Carpet Pythons" from Australia?
Hey I just saw her post and was about to link to you in my comment. Very nice and well deserved my friend!
Yep and that's what I caught it was a biggen too, I have never really handled snakes much lizards and the like yes but not so much massive pythons.
I was amazed by it's strength once I got it in the box it started striking the lid and actually dislodged it, I ended up having to weigh it down until he could be rehomed safely.
@papa-pepper of course this is about Steve appreciation, I would love it if everyone mentioned in what way even if small Steve made an impact on your life?
He was a top bloke and I miss him and what he brought to our damaged world.
I think that the biggest impact that he made in my life was EDUCATED FEARLESSNESS. I'd been grabbing everything in the swamps up in Wisconsin ever since I was a kid, and then this guy (Steve) is messing with crocodiles and brown snakes! I thought, well, if you understand what you're up against and are comfortable with the risks, why not?
As you may have seen from some of my stuff, I'll jump into about anywhere if I think I can pull something out. It is so exciting to be involved with the world on that level.
On pythons, I had a 10 footer down in New Orleans (Albino Burmese Python) but my friend has a couple of Carpet Pythons, maybe 7 and 8 feet each. Those are some incredible looking animals!
