Re: SnakesKin on Animal Planet!!!!!!!
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.

Re: SnakesKin on Animal Planet!!!!!!!
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.

Re: SnakesKin on Animal Planet!!!!!!!
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

Re: SnakesKin on Animal Planet!!!!!!!
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.
