This really annoys me:
I was watching animal planet and they said that "up next a poisinous snake at 10 ft long invades a college bathroom" and guess what they show a ball python all scared and doing what they do best ,ballin up, and this really ticks me off

I've seen that on news, but never on animal planet. It's also kinda hard to mistake a 10ft snake for a 4ft snake.

It was a preview. Watch the actual show and let us know if it was still a ball python.

Yeah those 10 foot "poisonous" ball pythons, they'll get ya every dang time makes me wonder what kind of herbs they're putting in the all natural granola bars over there at animal planet. Aren't they the people that are supposed to EDUCATE on different animals?

Now now, according to Wal-Mart Employees, and my local neighbors, they are called vemonous 10 foot burmese ball pythons. See there is no distinction between the two according to them.

Yes, but they also like to over dramatize...alot!

That sounds just like animal planet. I was watching an episode of animal cops and they had their "reptile guy" get a snake from a guy who was moving and he kept referring to what was clearly a Red Tail Boa as a Burmese Python.

What TV channel doesn't nowadays?

I saw that last night too and it pissed me off. They used the word "deadly" as well.

And people believe that crap too. I was in Petco checking out the Ball Pythons, Leopard Geckos, Bearded Dragons, etc and a guy walks in the store and over to the Ball Pythons. He says "Ball Python. . .hmmm. . .sounds poisonous". While trying not to laugh( I couldn't believe he took "ball" to mean poisonous) I told them they were harmless and answered a few more questions because he also thought they would grow to be about 10 feet.
