The sea snake incident aired, as far as I know, only once and was then pulled from the rerun rotation by the network. Sea snakes tend to be able to open their mouth to a wider angle than many other species and can envenomate with the jaw wide open and the fangs forward against broader surfaces as a result. Irwin held one behind the head, coaxed the mouth open and then pressed the snake against a piece of glass (maybe plexiglass) and pushed forward until the jaw was open 180 degrees against this flat unyeilding surface. The blood was a pretty good indicator that he broke it as a result.
