    Re: A member is on TV! (Intervention)

    Hey you lot, I created this account just to let you know you're right. His user is "Denial" - I am his brother (Tyler Steele).

    I'm glad to see you seem to see through the BS that this show was.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask.

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.
    Also; Sorry for the double post but I'd like to note that the way they portrayed my brother handling his snakes was mostly camera magic. Including when he placed his hand in the tank and it was empty.

    Yea I rewatched the show again after this fourm on demand and saw how they tricked the viewers. As I said he takes care of all his snakes very well, his attitude about how he will never get bit is a little arrogant because you will never know what will happen in the future even experts get bit. Animal planet is garbage now i never watch their channel because of how they portray snakes and their keepers. It is sad how they made your brother look like such a bad keeper and try and give all us snake keepers a bad name.

    Denial has always been willing to help herpers on this site adn has excellent information. I have personally contacted him with multiple questions when I was considering rescuing a retic. To the point, I have zero trouble believing that the sensational spin was all in the camera magic. Although I agree that we should avoid giving fodder to the ignorant cattle, we also shouldn't hide and feed the image that we are antisocial freaks that deep-down "know" we are doing something degenerate by keeping reptiles.

    Well, I am appalled...and a squeaky wheel. For those of you who care to join me, I have sent Discovery Communications a message demanding they get Fatal Attractions off the air. You can send them a message too...here:

    The more the better. I CANNOT stand the unethical behavior in this series....The more the merrier!

    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.

    Thank you all for "backing up" my son. This show was very misconstrued. Danny and his entire family were lied to by Winston Card and the producers regarding this show. We were betrayed by them all. The show that we all were to appear was titled "Living with Predators", not Fatal Attractions - Intervention. The show were to appear in was to educate the public who are so afraid of snakes and to show that they can be pets. They even filmed Danny at the elementary school educating possibly YOUR children, but, of course, none of this was aired.

    I'm not a fan of snakes of any kind, but I have been proven to by my son, that he has the safety of his family and everyone else that's around in his best interest!!

    With that being said....until you know all facts, it's not wise to judge anyone!!

    Except that, because he is a well liked member here who does participate fairly often, he really should have known how this would turn out. We've had people scout this site and attempt to get people to do just what he did, appear on their show. And those people have been, and hopefully always will be, shown the virtual door lickety-split.

    Were there contracts that guaranteed anything? Do you have any emails, text messages, papers of any sort assuring you that things would be done as you were told? If not, while a darn shame, the fault lies squarely with your son. He should have known better. We've all seen it happen before.

    Facts are fine, but so is common sense. The fact is he got snookered and common sense should have told him that would happen if he participated in the show.

    I kinda gotta shake my head at the whole thing.

    I not seen what the show ( too busy and really never cared for the lies they show on there) but man I would think the best you could do was along the line of breach of contract and that they used such to defame( proper words lacking as still jet lag( feeling) from hamburg show) of your character and such is my opinion but I not sure as I not watch the ep yet ( if anyone got the info like season and ep number I look it up later today if I get to use the TV to pull it up.
