    Haven't seen the show but I have a link to a story about something that went down with Danny Steele and Animal planet. Might be the same thing.

    Just watched that show last night. Its crazy how animal planet makes people who have reptiles look crazy. Its a shame how these shows have such uneducated facts on reptiles. And if someone owns more then one snake we are animal hoarders. One show said ball pythons were a danger. These idiotic shows are why all our exotic pets we love and care for will be slowly taken away from us. I agree that the guy had no clue how to handle his hot snakes but all his other snakes looked pretty well cared for. Some owners give all of us reptile owners bad reputations.

    Here is another article from Dean Ripa of Cape Fear Serpentarium. This one is about when the IDIOTS of Animal Planet and Fatal Attraction showed up to film an episode about him working with and handling hots.
    http://www.capefearserpentarium.com/...ttractions.pdf

    For those jumping all over Danny Steele "Denial" for his "handling" techniques you may want to bite your tongue(or atleast think twice) and realize that the people involved in this show will go out of their way to create these "dangerous/deadly" situations! They can edit anything you say to make you look "crazy or bad" and I'm sure they do the same with the video to make it look more dangerous than it really is!

    So before jumping on 1 of our fellow herpers and BP.net members, think and do your research first! Maybe newer members don't know that AP is only out for ratings and money, but most of us on here do know that they don't care about the truth and will do whatever they can to get the ratings that they want.

    I don't know much about the herp field (yet), but I do know a crapton about hedgehogs. The Too Cute episode that was just aired on them had cameras harassing a mother with day old babies and absolute disregard of their health and safety.

    Interesting...

    Although not surprising...there's a reason i steer clear from just about every dang *reality* show out there. Give me more shows like Battlestar Galactica and Southpark. Plotline and humor. Perfect for me.

    Watched this show! Thought he handled some of the hots carelessly. Also that flimsy door and his kids 30 feet from the retics. my wife thinks my ball pythons can kill and eat a baby now!

    Ugh I really wish we could sacrifice some of the suck-people today to bring Steve Irwin back and have him make Animal Planet what it should be again. Would anyone really mind if Snooki or Nicki Minaj were gone and Steve was back?? If more are needed there's plenty of suck-people.

    You mean, like you're doing? Nah, no hypocrites here.

    I didn't jump on anyone. Good lord, you make it sound like people are screaming for his head. Come down off that lofty perch and have a nice big drink of this - it's called harsh reality. It boggles my mind that anyone would lack the common sense and allow themselves to be filmed for any tv show that focuses on snakes. When has it ever been fair? When in the last few years has it ever been positive? Who has their head that far into the sand, or that far up their hind end? Was it really the tv station's fault for spinning something we all know they'll spin, or the fault of the person who allowed it to happen? Staged scenarios or not, that is the sort of stuff they're using as ammo against us, and he sure gave it to them willingly.

    I'm certain the point was not to defend silly actions, but rather pointing out that it's importany not to jduge without knowing the full story, or without actually knowing who this person was. The post was a reminder to think before you speak.

    We should also be careful about throwing around associations without any confirmation to back it up. This is how bad rumors get spread about people that were never involved.
