We just watched the progam wth Dr. Brady, and being snake lovers and have owned them for 30 + years, The way he reacted when the snake began to attack and bite him was very sensationalistic and over done. I have been biten by large snakes before,and I know it hurts but I myself have NEVER carried on like he did in the show!He screams like a girl.
Maby you should re-think your hosts in certin situations, like maby a tree farm,
Thank You

i've watched brady barr quite a few times, and cannot understand why this clown get's his own tv program. he's way too stressed,and over-dramatizes everything. He's screams a lot! he doesn't seem prepared, and lacks professionalism. his interaction with the wild life is very concerning to me, and the reticulated python showed that. so what if he caught the snake. why didn't this guy have any type first aid amenities at the site. he's in Indonisia, a third world county, and he's dealing with dangerous animals. the fact that he had to trek 2 hours for alcohol is a joke.

i kind of see this guy as more entertainment than an zooligist. he's not like other people i've seen on these shows. perhaps he should be less dramatic, and a lot more professional and respectful of the environment.

I cringe every time I see this guy on television. I second Michael K's sentiments re: Mr. Barr's interaction with the wild life that he encounters. He doesn't seem to have any finesse, nor respect for the animals when approaching or handling them. He seems to have a very large ego, with only his own gains in mind. He does not come across as having any kind of true affinity for the animals or their environment. I have worked as a Naturalist, and could never imagine behaving the way I have seen him on this program. It's disappointing to see that National Geographic has given this person his own show. You should have a host that shows the general public how to respect our fellow earthbound companions, not exploit them.

I think he went nto panic. Its differant when it happens on land, but he was in a cave w/ bats, scorpions, roaches, and waist deep bat guano (poop). I would freak out to. I saw this on Leno and it had more footage of him after the incident showing the cleansing of the wound etc. I want to see the aftermath. Could you add that footage?

Sorry Dale thats all the footage we have, but if you want to check out more there is an online interview with Brady on the Dangerous Encounters website that may interest you. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/dangerous-encounters/badbite.html

I just watched this t.v. show with my father and we both laughed through the whole thing. I agree with the bongos and michael K. I understand the whole freaking out thing but he did go more than a little bit overboard on the dramatics. I believe that caution is not really a bad thing but completly freaking out over a snake that was actually not quite as "giant" as he was putting it out as was very dumb and childish. He knew or should have known what he was going into and should have been more prepared, the man with him seemed to have a better hold on things than he actually did. I have had snakes of my own since i could walk i have loved them, and of course i have been bitten by them but if you are going to handle them you have to resect them and expect to be bitten just as if you are handling an angry cat, not go into a panic attack, and he did scream like a child.

Also i found it idiotic that he returned to the same cave and waded in the guano with stitches... that was really dumb with how "worried" he was about infection.
Thank you

I so agree with what's been said here. Barr is annoying in the extreme! He's obviously full of himself and I can't stand the way he yells at everyone ALL the time. Can you say "Type A personality?!" And, oh yeah, thanks so much for pointing out a new source to the skin hunters. Those caves were probably the last safe habitat for these endangered snakes. Nice going!

hi,
dr braddy barr doing marvelaoiuse job he reealyy inspiire me.
Q)i want email address of dr brady barr to show him sum pic of crocodiles. i have sum crocodiles here in karachi pakistan and local ppl beleives tht thay r different from rest of the world. kindly gimmie his email address to mail him pics. or anybodye knoes how conatatc him. kindly tell me through emial me

In the most of his shows Brady Barr shows very little compassion for the animals he works with. I find it difficult to accept that National Geographic and for all it stand for, recruits him and alows him to treat animals in this way. This guy is definitely in for the ego trip at the expence of animal suffering. He's loud,irritating and totally insensitive. He just seems to belong way away from wildlife and National Geographic work; but rather instead I'd say doing cirus tricks at some cheap rate Russian reality road show

Please please do contact me!!!

Dr. Brady Barr is an intelligent and brave man. I admire his work. He hosts a great television program! The negative commentary that persons have posted are not necessary.

dear sir,
i m a very big fan of you. i see you always at national geographic channel.
dear sir i wants to meet you.
pls give me your email address. i wants to know more information of about reptiles and crocks.
thanks.

The heck with the critics. Watching Dr. Barr releaved my stress and strengthen my passion for the alligator and snake. I am a soldier in Afghanistan. After each mission and when all was calm, I looked to Dr. Brady Barr to take my mind elsewhere into a life beyond Afghanistan. I would like to work for/with Dr. Barr in his adventures where his science studies can answer unanswered questions.
Employ Me,
Pappy

Hi Dr.Brady Barr can you contact me because I am doing a research report about the Russell's Viper and I can't find out what chemicals are in it's hemotoxic venom, and what rections do the chemical's make. If you can email me or if anyone else know just post it thanks.

i like to watch ol' brady get himself into a mess. he is so funny when he squeals like a 7 yr. old schoogirl and goes ballistic.

My family owes the experience of a lifetime to Dr. Brady Barr! We always hunt and release non venimous snakes and lizards in the trails around our Austin home but thanks to N.G.'s "super croc" DVD we took our adventure international and went to Coasta Rica in search of crocs, in the same areas Brady had. We found the crocs lounging along the Torcules River, and a Neotropical bird snake and poisonious dart frogs on our many hikes through the rain forest. Our son is on his way to becoming a biologist. Thank you Brady!!!!!!!

I just find him to be very obnoxious. He's way too loud and clumsy to be working with dangerous.. or any animals. Honestly I enjoy his programs until he starts to ..speak. It may sound harsh but honestly, if you were one of the animals and you had some guy shouting things 10 feet from you, would you attack? I sure as hell would.

Hello viewers

i just recently watched Brady for the first time on t.v. as an aspiring herpetologist i have to agree with the fact that he went overboard with the screaming and "type A" act.
but it is a VERY exciting thing to capture a large reptile and know that you did it on your own. i myself have caught many dangerous reptiles and am set to have my own show myself!! just wanted to get my voice out there!!
yep...Lizard Lady is the name...since i was 3yrs...and to tell you the truth i havent stopped loving it

Dr. Brady better look out for me...i am quite the gator wrangler
hope you all will see me soon!!

sincerely

michelle

hey Doc, i am your biggest fan ever and i have learned my things from you. i have watched almost all of your dangerous encounters with crocs, anacondas ,python or poisonous snakes like cobra with Dr.Jeremy martin from India,black mambas and many other deadliest snakes on earth. SO, Doc all the best and keep up the goood work.

National Geographic is Great! But Brady Barr is a girlie boy. Naturally he has his following. But he's just a wannabe. He will never get close to Steve Erwin, Jack Hanna, or Jeff Corwin...to name a few of his betters. National Geographic really sould consider finding someone with a better personality to do the show.
Brady Barr is just IRRITATING.

is the black morning spider real

I actually can't believe how many negative comments are posted on here! I actually just met Dr. Brady Barr at an event and I thought he was amazing! He was intelligent, personable and humble.

I have so much respect for all the things he has done in the wild. I would love to see any one of you guys do the things he has done. NO ONE can say anything or could survive through as much as he has!

And if you are going to compare him to other people at least get the names right! Its Steve IRWIN not ERWIN. Also how is he a wannabe when hes done everything if not more than all those people??

hi doc!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am your #1 fan i had watch all your tv shows like when you tackled all the 23 species of crocodiles. in the future i wanna be just like you. and we have something in common too, my favorite animals are the reptiles.

Iam your big fan and i want to become great like you i want to meet u and i want to learn more experience from you, need more guidance from u about your adventurous incidents.guide me what should i do for this , actually iam indian and belongs to middle class family where these incidence has no importance. tell me what should i do to success my dream.

i need dr brady's email because i want to sent him a video clip about very big phyton cought at malaysia . The lenght of the snake about more then 20 feet

My response is to Sara who says that no one could survive through as much as he has!!! Well Sara, if he didn't interfere with nature and remained as a informative by-stander, such as David Attenborough, then he would not have to get himself into trouble every time he wears his khaki shorts!

Also, he is not on his own! Look at the people that are involved in the situations Dr Brady puts them in, the funny thing is, you don't hear them screaming like a girl.

I think it's truly disgusting that he would make a snake regurgitate its food just so he can show the viewers!

First rule of nature - you do not interfere.

He's not fit to wear Steve Irwins underpants yet alone boots !

i have seen most of your experiences with snakes and crocodile.i just love all,u r very enerjetic and superb person for me.i always liked to watch u on tv,i wish that one day we could meet....
(SO PLEASE IF U READ THIS SEND ME MESSAGE PLS.....)
