Hey Mark, I was just checking out your site and It was great to see that you did an episode on the timber rattlesnake and it conservation.Anyways I missed that episode and to be a little off subject,this summer I'am doing a volunteer prodject here in Vermont with the timber rattlesnake.So mark I was wondering if there was anyway I could buy a copy of that episode,it would be greatly inspiring to see an actual t.v. episode on the timber rattlesnake.By the way I admire your work as a herpotologist, and I appreciate you taking the time to even do a show on timber rattlesnakes.This is such a wonderful species of snake,but so mis-understood.I hope to someday work with this native snake of Vermont and to help conserve it and its habitat!So again I was just wondering if there was a way to get a copy of that episode?
Sincerely,Eric Buck

I heard about your encounter with a timber rattle snake and would like to say my brother was also bitten by a timber and came very close to dying it must of been a horrible experence but its good to see you dident lose your love for reptiles im a newbi to the world of herps. I own a morelia spilota mcdowelli not had it for long but have been intrested in reptiles since i was about 4 when i caught my first bearded dragon and have been hooked ever since i live in the world down under and have seen most of your episodes i was glad to see you had an intrest in australian reptiles like the sydney broad headed snake and i hope i get to met you one day. I an going for my venomus reptile handling license soon and traviling into central australi as this will be my first feild trip do you have any words of advice

Dear Eric
My films are not available commercially on video or DVD because apparently there the market for them is too small to warrant producing them for sale.
I can't even send you a copy of my production copy because in the UK we are VHS PAL and you are VHS NTSC in the US so you will not be able to watch it on your player. All I can suggest is wait for it to show again or ask around for someone who has videoed it already.
I agree, timber rattlers are special and their conservation is very important.
Sorry
Mark

Hi Jimmy
Timber rattler bites are not fun and nor are bites from canebrakes, I've had both and the latter was the worst.
Australia is stocked to the gunnels with fascinating herps but if you are going off into the centre to search for them I would say get a copy of Cogger's 6th edition of Amphibians and Reptiles of Australia, with its 1000+ species, for identification, take decent snake catching kit, take a pressure bandage and make sure you know Aussie bandage technique, take a mobile phone and stay in touch with base, take a colleague who likes herps with you, take plenty of water and fuel but don't take chances!
Mark

Hi Mark, just watched the episode where you were in Asia catching a King Cobra for the hearing experiment. I loved that one; ranks up there with the Alligator snapper show. Are you going to do some more shows in the future? We have them all taped for my kids and I for rainy days. Jeff Q

Mark, you have a message which was written in Portuguese. Though I can appreciate the attempt made to English, I decided to provide you with the propper translation. I am Brazilian and I believe my version will serve you better.
The posting was by a girl named "Tamar Cantanhede". Here goes the updated English version:
In portuguese:
Rio de Janeiro, January 4th, 2004.
Mark O'Shea.
Hi, is everything alright with you?
I am 19 years old and I admire you a lot. You do an incredible work and I love the way you handle the snakes. You are charismatic, intelligent and you have a great sense of humor.
I have been trying to send you this e-mail for a while now, and I know you are a very busy man, but it would be great if you could reply to my e-mail address: tamar_cantanhede@yahoo.com.br
This is very special to me.
PS: Please forgive me for any wrong words and mistakes. I am studying english.
Many kisses,
Tamar
