4 Year Old Robert Irwin Gets First Snake Bite
‘Crocodile Hunter’s’ Son ‘proud’ of Snakebite
9 year old Bindi was supposed to get all the attention since a Barbie type doll just came out that looks like her. 4 year old Robert Irwin took some of the spotlight this time. He was bitten by a baby boa constrictor snake and was quite proud of it but commented that he hoped it wasn’t venomous.
Both children seem to be following their father’s footsteps. Wildlife expert Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter died after a stingray pierced him in September 2006. He was well known for his conservation efforts and fought to save endangered species.
Bindi now has her own series called Bindi the Jungle Girl, which was planned before Steve died. You can watch it on Saturdays at
I hope little Robert is not bitten by any more snakes but I imagine he will eventually because the whole family is into reptiles. Bindi received her first bite at 18 months! We have had lizards but I have never been particularly fond of snakes. I remember my youngest daughter picking up a small harmless snake when she was around 4 as well. She wouldn’t dream of it now but part of that is conditioning.
