    Python hunters
    WAS AMAZING

    SO glad it was 100% fact based.

    my favorite part was when they stuffed the statistic of how many dogs kill people compared to pythons! god great stuff. i hope people watch this show!

    The only thing that got me was that they still showed a lot of ball pythons while talking about the burmese. I'm surprised Michael and Greg allowed them to do that. Maybe I was wrong but I swore I saw the panda pied in there...:rolleye2:

    well they also talked about the one guy being a ball python breeder. i think they were showin BP's when they were refering to snakes in general, and the only pied i saw was a regular pied. but who knows! wonderful show!

    Graziani is a ball python breeder...kind of like Obama is a politician. ;)

    I loved seeing the footage of some of their fantastic animals.

    Oh gosh it was great to see...
    #1 A program based on facts, and they DISCUSSED the facts and why the facts are supported by evidence.
    #2 A entertaining program with snakes, without the normal "OMG they'll all kill you!!!" mentality OR the 'girly squealing in terror' stupidity.
    #3 Micheal Cole on tv(way to go Micheal!! You were #2 of my reptile gurus, and I still own balls I've purchased from you and also from Neil!).
    #4 Seeing native snakes, and discussing that the baby pythons could be feeding a multitude of native wildlife, and that there IS natural predation.
    #5 Micheal Cole on tv(did I mention that? I'm just so pleased to see a down-to-earth herper that I KNOW is a great guy shown on tv)
    #6 No theatrics, no fade-to-B&W shots of giant jaws of death. I was a little annoyed to see a lot of shots of snakes shown right before and after shots of the dogs in the fence, as if they filmed a wild giant burm coming up to the housing.
    #7 All 3 guys were obviously enjoying their work, without leaping around and waving their arms in the air in a silly way the way some "tv personalities" are wont to do. They were the average herper enjoying "field herping".


    Even with the final editting trying to be a little over-the-top in bits, the whole program was so pleasing. I'll be looking up the NatGeo addresses to send not only praising emails, but also physical letters of thanks and praise for the awesome fact-based programming as opposed to other channels that only make sensationlized tabloid tv.

    I know we laughed when we saw that. Greg looked like he was gonna knock him out. The pen that Greg was using through out the show is the one my grandpa gave him.
