Article in the Toronto Star

[Rickys_Reptiles]

I know this article is old, but it bring back good memories of when I used to devote my daily life to my passion

I used to get asked to do a lot of local TV and a few other small print jobs, but when the Toronto Star came to me I was floored. This was my biggest "media" opportunity.

It all started because some idiot in Toronto found a Ball Python in their toilet. Poor snake must have got out and somehow ended up in a toilet, unable to get out, freezing cold So, of course the media went on a rampage - and I got pissed! I'm not too sure how the Toronto Star found me, but I'm glad they did. I got a lot of great emails the next few weeks from people asking me questions and wanting to learn more about Ball Pythons.

It's a decent read, and a pretty nice video if I don't say so myself

Hey Ricky - Always nice to see someone standing up for the 'majority' of the reptile community and speaking against the 'popular myths'.

“If you’ve ever held a hamster, you’re in a lot more danger,” he says. “Hamsters bite people all the time.”
