    I haven't watched it. Is it any good, or does it display the same anti-herpetoculture hype that a lot of AP shows have?

    I'm pretty sure the OP is actually from the show, so her opinion might be a little slanted, but from what I've heard it's actually pretty good for the reptile community.

    It's good...very not anti-herp. Caught both episodes last night. Can't believe they convinced that lady to let harmless snakes in her yard to eat/drive out the copperheads.

    Hah, it's on right now and I think you're right!

    15 minutes into this episode and it geta a thumbs-up from me for sure. No hype, just some nice people who work with herps in Georgia. Right now they're checking up on a dog that was bitten by a copperhead, after removing the copperhead from the yard it was in.

    The thing is, is that AP is widely supportive of the programs lately that are fueling NEGATIVE opinions of our reptiles.

    Show for example entitled "KILLER ALIENS" or "FATAL ATTRACTIONS"

    A quote of one of the shows intentions.....


    "Welcome to America's invasive species ground zero: Florida. The Sunshine State is overrun by giant rats, lizards, feral hogs and lethal pythons-non-native species that have been imported by humans. Once released, these foreign invaders wreak havoc on a land that is not their own. With no natural predators, their populations continue to spread throughout the state. The front lines are expanding, and no one knows where they are headed next"

    Now, I dont care if they want to air a show about a dog their helping out that got bit by a snake, ANIMAL PLANET is NOT our friend, and is NOT getting my views on ANY show it airs. They are fueling a fire

    Just my 2 pennies

    OK, so don't support that show that supports our views.....that will make sure AP airs more episodes!

    It's about ratings. Make a good show about snakes that general public can enjoy and things can start to turn around.

    Does the general public want to see a show about how snakes can be harmless? Or do they want to see giant anacondas eating pigs and how some guy lost his leg due to a snake bite?

    This show is actually entertaining, educational and they show people handling many different kinds of snakes. It's exactly what we need on TV. We need shows that instruct people how to make their yards unfriendly to snakes. That way they can follow some of the tips other than just killing snakes.

    I don't watch anything else on AP, mainly because I don't like dogs and 99% of their programming involves dogs. I will however support SnakesKin and rave about it every chance I get because it delivers the message that we want everyone to have. Oh, and they do it by the thousands at one time.

    Absolutely! One can speculate on AP's agenda to destroy our hobby all day - but when it comes down to it they are a business and they only care about ratings. Airing shows about big scary dangerous snakes sells. They wouldn't air those programs if nobody watched.

    I can fully understand why some of you would want to boycott AP and I don't blame you. On the other hand, I think it's really important to support shows like SnakesKin. The compassion the family on SnakesKin has for reptiles is very obvious and the message that they deliver may very well change the mind of some of the misinformed public!

    It's because those shows get more ratings and views than the positive ones. They put up the popular shows that appeal to audiences.
    If you don't support the shows that are positive for the hobby, you're pushing down the ratings and potentially being non-supportive of this hobby in general.

    This is a show that helps to educate the public on the GOOD of these animals. Not all shows on AP are bad, but since you're stereotyping them all into one group, you're assuming that all the shows are filled with incorrect information. Animal Planet producers aren't herpetologists, they are looking for what appeals to the public. They may not understand what is more or less truth about this hobby because NO ONE enforces it.

    Re: SnakesKin on Animal Planet!!!!!!!
    Thank you to all that watched and support our show! I have the same concerns and get JUST as fired up when I see stupid shows showing snakes as evil :( They have scary music or people who over react when they catch the snakes; even when they are non-venomous! We told Animal Planet that we did NOT want to be apart of it if they were going to turn our show into the same old stero-typing crap like all the others!! They agreed to our terms. Again; thank you and from this point its in the Lords hands.

    yeah the lady at the top is on the show, but imo i like the show. They teach alot about the animals they catch and they care alot for the animals they have. I was watching it the other day and the couple were holding a big completely black snake. Ive been doing all kinds of research to find out what it was to no avail. If anyone knows what kind it is please let me know thanks.

    watched and enjoyed the shows i also watched (last night the one on petland ) i liked the snakeskin one better . the animal plant mstation might be bias but they run a few good programs remember we repilt lovers are fewer in numbers than the furball loveer . so they must appeal to them more i guess i know on fatal attraction (one about the guy in delaware and montior lizards was a true ordeal cause i watched it on the news as a kid

    Can I say thank you to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish that we would have fallen into the do commercials on our show catagory. They have to pick and choose which ones to promote. The neat thing is if they don't do a season 2 we have 2 other options. It feels good to show REAL snake owners, and lovers, and not just haters. Ever have any questions about the show feel free to ask. By the way that Indigo we showed ( the big black one) His name is Milo, and he is legally blind. Was born that way.

    They are not online from what I can find. From what I remember, they only aired on 7 days total. Three of the days were back-to-back episodes and then last Saturday was the Marathon (4 PM EST).

    That's probably it for now folks. I got them all DVR'd if anyone lives close enough, just bring a case of beer (if you're old enough) ;)
