NEW YORK — Like father, like son? 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, his mother said.
“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 FAO Schwarz appearance 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.”
Terri Irwin said the couple’s daughter, Bindi, was first bitten by a snake when she was 18 months old. The girl, now 9, is featured in the Discovery Kids Channel show “Bindi the Jungle Girl.”
