Whoa "Snake Underworld" on nat geo WILD

[h00blah]

I'm confused. Theres some cool stuff, then some typical fear tactics....

They showed a pastel x spider = bumblebee.....

[Medusas Lair Herp]

its sad Henry Rollins would get involved with the fear mongering.

[h00blah]

Well it started off cool talking about the beautiful and calm animals.

Then it went on to the big snakes and more talk about how many people died to snakes.

Now they're focusing on venemous..

[h00blah]

Now he just said snakes get a bad rep. A vet said stupid people give them a bad name. Henry just said ignorance is what makes people fear snakes..

He says this yet every time he describes a burmsse python, he says the deadly burmese python, them shows pictures of big ball pythons and small retics...

[jeanus]

The entire show was confusing with a little good info then the scare tatics, He hopes to stop people needlessly killing snakes then shows a rattlesnake striking. There was a little harmless ringneck when he said garter just lots of fear mongering. I am very sorry I watched it.

[gsarchie]

Sounds like the usual garbage when it comes to snakes.

[TheSnakeGuy]

Yeah it's tough to decide whether that show was beneficial for the snake world or not.

I'm glad I'm not the only one really confused... Just as jeanus stated, it's back and forth between good information and scare tactics. The majority was trying to scare you.. Are we part of an underworld, guys? You can purchase ball pythons from any major pet store. Even pet stores sell morphs now. They showed Kerry King, some guy who shoots himself up with venom, and Tom Crutchfield... However they only showed how Tom illegally imported animals from around the world, possibly ruining the ecosystem and bringing down the population... ..

This is why I don't have cable anymore!

[Roadtrash]

Yeah, I watched it myself and couldn't tell if they were trying to help educate people or just scare them. They weren't very good at identifying the snakes they were showing that's for sure.

As for the guy injecting venom, how stupid can one man be. He may find if he gets bitten there is a difference between the injection and what comes straight from the snakes mouth.

Some of the show was pretty good and the rest was not. Like most of these shows it's all about the money not facts.
