    A great man, and my hero. He paved the way for reptile relations and he will never be forgotten.

    Rest in Peace

    There is a news article on our home page, I am just speachless right now, I have an email from him, from when we were trying to find out what the yellow discolorations and lesions were that was showing up on bearded dragons in the US. He was one of the first to responf that it might be a advance fungal that did not culture,,, and he was right

    There is a news article on the home page of this site, with comments enabled to follow it so that we can keep these together under one location.

    I am so shocked, I have some emails from him from him when we email thier facility for help/info about some skin problems that were being seen in bearded dragons in the US. What he sugested back ended up being the problem.

    Hmm, I didnt believe it at first when I saw the headline on the homepage, I thought it said a crocodile had died, and then I realized it said something about "44", so I read it all the way through. I remember watchin his show when I was real little and always sayin "croikeys"

    When i first saw it i didnt think it was true. What a bumer, hes the reason im a reptile person in the first place. Out of all the deaths, a stuped sting ray :'(. I guess i'll never get to see him in person like i always wanted to.

    I just found out and came onto this board to see if it had been mentioned. How awful. And a Stingray? I'm sure knowing Irwin he'd be quite happy for a snake/reptile to send him off eventually (it's been way too soon) but a stupid FISH? how frustrating. Poor man, and poor family.

    like most of you I watched Steves show when I was little (still do) and I used to wrestle the dog like he was a croc. lol he was also the one that got me fasinated with reptiles and I was hoping one day that I could work at his zoo when I am old enough. but I had no clue that he had died until my mom woke me up and told me that he had died (great way to wake up right?) and I was shocked that he had died that way because he was studying tiger sharks not stingrays. well I'm sad now RIP Steve Irwin

    Same here, but it was my sis that woke me up. I tlhought she was kidding. But she insisted. My mom actually taped the segment from the news for me to see cause she knew I wouldn't believe her. I still can't believe it. It's terrible... His poor family.

    I had never thought that I would cry for the death of someone I never met. He was my role model, my hero. I had always dreamed of visiting Australia Zoo and meeting him. I ache more severely for his family, especially his little daughter (daddy's girl) who he left behind. He will truly be missed. But we will always remember what he has done for this world. He is truly a legend.
