This is what happens, when firstly you dont pay attention where you put your feet, and secondly not having bloody good boots on .The guy should of known better, especially being in the company of BG he's renowned for playing with and upsetting snakes .

I'm usually one of the first to criticise BG and his unsafe examples and showboating but I do feel for the guy that got that bite.

Hope he recovers reasonably well and that everybody learns something from the incident.

I agree - you really do have to sympathise with the guy - he is lucky to have kept the foot and his life!
The Fer-de-lance is a dangerous creature all right.
I wonder how the poor fellow ended up getting bitten.

I think you will find this has nothing to do with BG!!

The poor guy was just one of BG's producers when he was doing man vs wild.

They were actually filming a new series called naked and afraid!!

That pic of his foot all open is circulating on facebook saying "look what happens if you dont wear boots on a motorbike" :rolleyes:

Well that is something I did not want to see.

Just to cheer me up Jonathan sent back a couple of pictures of a puff adder victim in the hospital he was in. And it looked like his whole leg from the ankle to the groin had been slow cooked. The flesh and muscle were dropping off. I would not mind, but I have to feed and clean the one we have while he is away.
