A total bag of BS!!! If you were unhappy with the information shared go to http://www.history.com/global/feedba...m&NetwCode=THC and leave a comment!! I DID!!!!! :mad::rage:

I agree, that that baby burm was a plant, and that the show was terribly one sided. The part that pisses me off though is that PEOPLE didn't keep them correctly and either let them go on purpose, or didn't have them caged correctly and then hurricane Andrew came and set them free. And that is the unfortunate part, because now many might pay the price for the actions of a few stupid people. I love how they down played the venomous problem, especially when talking about the cobras that are loose. Well, they are more likely to eat the pythons then kill a person. As snake/reptile keepers I think we have to start policing our own!

Did anyone catch Monster Quest on the History Chennel last night about "invasive pythons?" I watched it last night. It was probably one of the largest loads of crap I have ever watched. They talked about the possibility of different species hybridizing to produce "super snakes" and even suggested that pythons and cobras could hybridize!!! They mentioned that there are King Cobras in South Florida as well, even though their was only one instance of an escaped King being found in S. Florida. They of course showed the USGS map and even stated that "killer pythons" would be able to migrate and thrive all of the way up to New York City's Central Park and that the sewers and subways are ideal environments for them. There was of course alot of hype about pythons being a danger to the public, pets, wildlife, etc and what python propaganda piece would be complete without bringing up the Sumpet Co. girl's death by the "deadly rampaging python"?

Pretty much the only good parts of the show were toward the end when the one guy said that venomous and pythons could not possibly hybridize and when they mentioned Hurricane Andrew as a factor for the snake's release.

Does anybody have a link to this video yet?

yea i caught that it was really bad publisity. pythons dont kill irresponable owners do.

More about that here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=111424

if the name of the show doesnt say it all "Monster Quest" what a joke. how about the large snake in central park, the show said that the snake was probably released, not a probable escape. what about the mountain lions or bears, or wolfs or coyotes that kill neighborhood cats and dogs. there is more of an instance of deaths in the united states from said mammals. absolutly agenda driven show. good editing. and what about the guy that that was holding the snake that had the wound in the head, what a joke.
this doesnt have to do with the monster quest show, but did anyone read the article about the United States government using bomb swallowing snakes to bomb cuba. wish i still had the link.

I could not agree more! Thanks for the link. I just spent the last 30 minutes writing and sending my feed back.

Just like the media to never let the facts get in the way of a juicy story to get ratings.

Ratings=advertisers=$$$$$$$$$$
