It would be nice if you could make yourself available for an interview or something. :/ Dunno if that is possible though.

Oh no...I'll leave that stuff to people like Brian. (Snakebytes)He would be perfect.
Re: CBS News and my egg cam
Wow, that's awesome David. I hope the portray them positive. Please let us know when they are going to be showing the vid, so I can watch.
Re: CBS News and my egg cam
I am going to be a stick in the mud just cause I am the paranoid type.
I would first require that I know what story they plan to use it for before I would grant permission.
I can just see them using the pics of the eggs to slander us on the whole captive breeding front: "See here how a hobby breeder flagrantly publicizes eggs he is incubating from python like the one that killed that poor child in FL..."
Remember, they are news agents, it is their job to lie through their teeth to get the story.

I'd have to agree - I would say that they do NOT have permission to use your clip without first telling you what the angle of the story is.
Re: CBS News and my egg cam
Early in the video clip was a still picture of what looked like a snake and egg, or something like that. Is that from Dave's webcam?
I agree that 100,000 huge snakes freely roaming part of the country is a problem. The backlash that will reach our shy 22" baby is what I don't agree with. :(
Dave, our two girls and I have been watching your hatchlings. It's so great to see! The thought of that used in a negative way makes me :mad:
