:gj: Let's give the new comers a chance to get their name out there and have fun doing it.:):gj:

Good way to get your name out in front of a large audience!:)

Another brain numbing TV program. I don't know why these types of shows are so popular. Oh well. Just another show I won't be watching.

Jim Smith

I feel discriminated against because I'm not married. Not that we bicker about my snakes but we can sure act that way for T.V.

My wife is deathly terrified of snakes and wont even go in the basement. But we dont bicker about them. She understands its my hobby.
There is no way i would go on TV and fight about snakes with her. I see this as Bad publicity for the reptile industry.

Awww...too bad....I guess I don't get my 15 minutes. My hubby loves the snakes just as much as me. Now...if I get the Panther Cham that I want...we might qualify...lol

Are you working for peta or hsus?

WHY would you encourage anyone to do something so detrimental and, basically, stupid?

Oh wait, I forgot, you like being a puppet.

Lol thats what i figured most people would do.

I'm thinking this isn't a good idea. It might turn out cute and might benefit the reptile keeping hobby, but my instinct says otherwise. I posted feedback on the RC Reptiles site sharing my opinion. "Your comment has been submitted. It will appear once it has been approved."

I think he might not approve it for posting, especially since it'd be the first comment and it isn't jovial. I didn't copy the text, but should have as the back button fully erased my text. In case anyone is curious, I'll recall my post the best that I can. Here goes...

[Can't remember my excellent intro]... those who fear/hate snakes to hate/fear them more. Bickering or arguing about real subjects is negative, no matter how light. And negative feelings about snakes can harm our ability to keep, breed, sell, and ship snakes. (i.e. S373)

I'm surprised that as a commercial breeder, you are endorsing this publicized "light-hearted" bickering about snake keeping between couples. It causes me to look at your motives and view your business model in a different way. I hope that you will reconsider your involvement. Thanks.

I admit, I always look at what good can come of something before I see what bad might happen, but that's because I want good things to happen. It seems that some of you always see the glass as 3/4 empty because you know the tapered cup has more volume in the top half and you feel like they're trying to pull one over on you by using inches to determine half way. In my opinion a glass with something in it is better than nothing. Before the pessimists skew what something is, it's edible, but yours can be full of sand or poop or whatever you think they might try to feed you.

Your last analogy lost me. If you're condoning the eating of sand or poop out of a tapered 3/4 empty glass, I'm glad I didn't get it.

If that was not your intention, could you rephrase?

What I meant was my glass is one quarter full of something edible. I felt that if I didn't clearly define what something was, creative suggestions would follow.

This is what im picturing in my head how the show will go.

Host: So tell me about how the reptiles are affecting your lives?

Wife: He dun bought some snakes and they is stinkun up the house.

Husband: My darn snakes is not stinkun up the house.

Wife: And he feeds them dead frozen rats that he keeps in the freezer
under the grits.

Husband: Dats what day eats woman!

Wife: DOO HUH?

And then a fight breaks out and chairs are thrown everywhere.

I am the type of person who has a glass half full mindset. That mindset is also programmed to ensure self-preservation. I also think realistically. I also look down the line to how something can affect me long term. I also am a risk taker - I scuba dive in cold water, ride a motorcycle, date, and juggle knives, just to name a few. However, I take calculated risks. And this program, featuring spats between married couples and their "snake keeping problem" -- the risks far outweigh the benefits in light of the legislature going around about pythons and boas.

*I don't juggle knives, but the others are true. ;)

Well, SOMEONE is gonna do it. I'll bet that Richard Heene, (Balloon Boy's Dad) is out buying a snake right now.

There are many like the op who seem to need attention. To the point of whoredom.

I too have no doubt someone will do this.

I have no doubt that had her husband not had to good sense to check out early we'd be seeing deb in all her glory. [-snip-] but oh so happy to be the center of attention, her dream come true.

[-snip-]

eh, this wont make it far enough to get to that episode. Its produced by seinfeld. That almost qualifies for immediate cancellation.

Maybe we should just plant someone on there.....in the end they can all kiss and make up and LOVE the snakes....lol

I don't like the way this is phrased. You can be a star? For having snakes that someone "hates"? I liked it better when you were a star for having talent. Not for simply caring for an animal as easy as snakes.

I'm with everyone else. This will most likely do more harm than good, and I'm surprised anyone would fall for it. Unless they're like most people wanting their 15 mins of fame, then I could understand. Seems like everyone wants to have their name in the magazines...
