Dirty Jobs - July 10th

i just set the dvr.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not a regular viewer of the show, but this one is definitely a "cant miss."

:-)

Wow. The 17' retic is gorgeous. Everyone watching?

just started watching...20 minutes late :(

I'm watching. Gorgeous snakes, I'm definitely never keeping giants. Don't want to deal with that poo and pee....nuh uh not for me.

I am...yea all the giants were. But (and I don't own any giants) but what was wrong with how the moved them? (from a previous poster about another forum being ticked)

I'm watching! Wondering what they are going to do with the three retics and why they put all three of them in to a much smaller enclosure.... and now are putting the boa's in to the retic's old enclosure.

Ummm maybe I'm missing something... but aren't they missing the whole "sanitizing" thing with the old retic enclosure before putting the boa's in there...

EDIT:

Why in the world do they have rattle snakes housed with rat snakes and bull snakes!?!?!?!? All those snakes in that small hole in the ground that they call a pit. WOW. I don't know what to say.

Mike said something about I35 and "just another day in Texas"...i guess that answers your question :gj:

i live in austin which is near the snake farm. i went a couple month ago. the collection of snakes is amazing that have tons of snakes, mambas everything. but the almost all the snakes were in horrible or pretty bad condition. its a cool place to see stuff the have monkeys too but very bad care for the animals especially one ball python i saw. the worst was the snake pit were they had tons of snakes together and people tosing money at them kinda sad really. Anyway just kinda andry about the place.

Well they did say that it was under new ownership(that's why it was closed) so HOPEFULLY the new owners will get everything up to snuff.
They had a couple nice ball pythons to start. The snakes seemed in good weight(one might have been fat, but I'm not used to giants).
I think that smaller pen they moved the retics to they referred to as a 'holding pen' so they wouldn't be leaving them there.
They might have sanitized and all, and they just didn't show it. Remember the editting. They want the most footage of Mike dodging snakes and gators.
I wish they'd use VENOMOUS... not poisonous as the term.
Loved the show though.
