Re: this really annoys me
I saw that one as well!
It was on the freaky show - they said "up next, a deadly find in a coeds bathroom" and it was a ball python. Then they were saying how it was deadly and were showing a burmese (i think) attacking prey and then going back to the ball python.
Pathetic.
Re: this really annoys me
I remember seeing something on Animal Planet about having to capture a red tailed boa. The snake was coiled up near a car, and the guy (who typically does rodent/raccoon type calls) was acting like such a baby. Granted, the snake was about 8 feet and was not happy. But it was doing such wimpy little strikes, and the guy's like, "Sometimes if we put a trash can in front of them, they'll crawl in to hide." So he literally chucks a garbage can at the front of the snake, and hopes that it lands somewhere in the vicinity of it because he sure as heck isn't getting any closer to it. :rolleyes: He gave the snake about five seconds, and when it didn't go in he said, "Well that didn't work." Of course not; you have to wait for them to actually move. They don't just apparate into the trash can, dummy. :rolleyes: Then they thought they'd put a towel over its head but the snake would strike at it every time. Honestly, I thought the man was going to cry. It was all a bit ridiculous.
