    "Life" on Discovery - Reptiles/Amphibians

    I'm watching the show "Life" right now, on Discovery Channel... it's hosted by Oprah Winfrey, and is basically like the program "Planet Earth." The episode I'm watching now is on reptiles and amphibians, and it's awesome!! Definitely check it out on repeats if you have a chance, particularly if you have HD television - I can't believe how amazing it looks in HD. Anyone else catch it yet?

    OMG... they're showing a group of garter snakes awaking from hibernation, and competing for the few females nearby. It's hilarious, especially the one boy who overslept - LOL.

    Re: "Life" on Discovery - Reptiles/Amphibians

    Hi Laura! I've caught snipets of one of the episodes but have yet to watch them. I think my dvr is overflowing so I better log off now!

    On a similar but different note, have you watched the "Fatal Attractions" or the "Invasion of Killer Aliens" programs on Animal Planet? I understand better why the Democrat in Florida wants to ban pythons. I believe that they should be allowed to kill all large python species on the spot if they are "at large." And I think that keeping those species of large pythons should be limited in some form. I want non-native species to thrive only in captivity.

    And about that Fatal Attractions... what nut jobs!!

    Yeah, that was definitely my favorite part of the show... this one fat male wakes up 2 days late, yawning and looking around like "Oh crap, I missed the chicks!" I haven't seen that other show you mentioned, so maybe I'll look for it on my dvr later.

    I watched a little of it in HD, and it was amazing. I am planning on finishing it this weekend sometime.

    The HD is truly amazing. How about that pebble toad? Haha.

    On a similar but different note, have you watched the "Fatal Attractions" or the "Invasion of Killer Aliens" programs on Animal Planet?

    As for these shows, i have only seen little bits, but im sure they are almost complete crap. Dont believe everything your hearing from animal planet. The content on that station has truly gone down hill and i refuse to watch it anymore. After seeing other shows that had "proof" of the "invasion", im sure this is just another one sided show that continues to hurt our community.

    These species are already regulated in Florida, which is the only state in the United States that has somewhat appropriate environment for them, and that only exists at the extreme southern tip of the state. (Legislation requires an inventory of the animals, microchips, locked room or individual cages, an annual fee on top of the annual fee to exhibit reptiles for sale, etc. - It is plenty sufficient enough to address this issue).

    Also, pretty much everything you'll see on AP about the feral Python bivittatus population in the ENP is complete BS. The channel has become all about sensationalizing media to pull in more viewers anymore, and is far from a decent scientific channel like it once was.
