New York - The 4-year-old son of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin wasn’t at all alarmed when he was recently bitten by a baby boa constrictor, according to his mother.
“He picked one of them up and it bit him on the finger, and he was so proud to have copped his first hit,” Irwin’s widow, Terri, said Monday at an appearance at FAO Schwarz with her two children to promote a new line of toys.
“He said, ’I hope it wasn’t venomous,’ so I assured Robert I wouldn’t actually let him play with venomous snakes,” she added
Terri Irwin said the couple’s 9-year-old daughter, Bindi, was first bitten by a snake when she was 18 months old.
Irwin provoked an international outcry in 2004 after being filmed holding his then 1-month-old son while feeding a snapping crocodile.

Full Version: Croc Hunter’s son is unfazed by snake bite
His father would be so proud of him
Hmmm. . .I suppose we all take different paths in parenting. . . I'd probably be more worried about what my son would do to the baby snake. . . I have to watch him around the cats. . .I couldn't imagine what horrible thing he could do to a little baby snake. . .
And, I agree. . .his father would be proud of him. lol.

Wow now the son can spend his life bothering animals just like his father bothered them.

Despite 'bothering' the animals I do have to say I actually learned quite a lot from Steve Irwins television programs.
