I just caught this on fox news about an hour or so ago. I am currently 8 hours ahead of eastern standard time in the US so it'd be about 6-7 am on the east coast back home. I don't have a link because about half the websites I try to go to are blocked by the military(deployed) and that includes youtube obviously. I'll try and find the link to it tonight when I get off work. Anyway...
I walked in about halfway though the spot but from what I saw it was very objective and the reporter even held a a baby alligator. The people they interviewed were just asked normal questions and the main person they had with them was a herp enthusiast. They even briefly went over ball python morphs.
They went into the HOT section of the show as well. They HOT owner they interviewed basically said "I do it because of the attractiveness of something dangerous just like it is for people who ride motorcycles or race cars". He also said something along the lines of the wild nature being attractive.
Hopefully someone with full internets access can post a link or video to this, just thought it was cool to see a national news channel discussing python morphs.
