yea, i noticed they dropped the rattler pic, though outside of that, it was kinda postive.

I like how they zoomed in on him locking the enclosures. People who aren't involved with reptiles always have this strange notion in their heads that we just let our animals roam free in our homes lol. "Aren't you scared it will strangle you"?. I get that one all the time. Or "how is it when they bite"? To which I reply I will take a hit from my 6 ft boa over a kitten any day. Kittens hurt

If you watch the video (the news video specifically about the big rattlesnake), the snake does not look that big at all. Definitely not burm size!

Except for the part when they said that the snakes are "known to strangle small children"... as if this is some kind of common occurrence.

yea i re-watched and picked that up, you gotta better chance to die in a plane-crash, probelly, lol

I didn't know snakes could get "17 feet high". That would be giraffe height!

They have been known to grow 17 feet *high*! Holy cow, that's insane! No wonder people people want them banned! I wouldn't want one crawling through a child's second story window!
