The breath of his knowledge matched by his charisma as the leading television presenter on Nat Geo Wild, continues to inspire Malaysians to better understand the reptilian family, some of which are facing extinction in the face of our modern world."

Brady’s Tips to Avoid Snake Attacks:
1. Never ever attempt to pick-up a snake. It takes an expert to determine whether it is
venomous or not.
2. If you see a snake, just back away. Snakes will not chase you as they are not aggressive.
3. The only time you’ll be bitten is if you step on the snake or try to pick it up.
4. Keep your yard and home free from trash and clutter, avoid things that will attract
rodents and then subsequently attract snakes.

Brady’s Tips to Avoid Crocodile Attacks:
1. Do not go fishing while wading in water and never attach caught fish to your body.
2. Do not let your kids or pets play around water’s edge. And avoid any activities along
water’s edge, especially at dusk.
3. Never approach a crocodile. If you see it, maintain your distance and back away slowly.
4. Never feed crocodiles! This is very dangerous because they become conditioned to
associate people with food.
