If you ever live outback in Oz you'll realise the place is full of people like that. 🙂

I've done that in Africa when I was a kid to impress/chase the girls. I also did it in Oz with some pretty nasty snakes, but never with more than one. That wasn't for fun - sometimes they came into our house so I'd take them out to the nearby bush land and release them.

They're usually a bit livelier than shown on that clip, so I suspect he may have cooled them down a bit first before the video. The flick of the wrist to keep them climbing up their own bodies is a good knack to have. 🙂

He is definitely batshit daft though...

I think there is a correlation between young blokes, alcohol and the presence of women to the number of snake bites.
I think it's uncommon to die from snake bite these days it's not that much of a fun experience. I've seen plenty while out on the bike and not seen a few that were found crossing the trail behind me. There ain't no way my hands are going anywhere near a snake and I'm certainly not going to go running round a boggy swamp in a pair of shorts looking for them!

Quality stuff - his line of banter reminds me of the honey Badger:

Mental. I watched the one of him catching the fox.crackers.
Both the snake bloke and the ausie rules(?) bloke remind me of Guy Martin.Only in a parallel universe.

It's easier to catch a snake than it looks, just don't pick on a taipan unless you have a stick to divert its front end because you simply can't move fast enough if it decides to have you. 🙂

Strangely I was talking about the Honey Badger the other day.
