Fox News 9:45 Friday Morning

[PweEzy]

First of all great job Trey on the interview! You're now a national TV star and pretty much famous! =D

Second of all...

I think people who own a pet should be responsible for its safety as welll as the people around its safety, and I dont think the government should be making the choice on what kind of animals we can or can not own!!

As I'm sure everyone has noticed, our dumb government wants to have their foot in everything these days....NRA hasn't let the gun ban come into effect yet due to all the action they have taken to prevent it, so lets keep up our fight to protect this awesome hobby and take their foot out of our hobby and shove it up their ***es (edited for young members) =P

Trey, you did great. And you are speaking for thousands of snake owners across the county. This is very importat to us, to portray a positive image to the "less informed and hysterical". Thank you so much.

[GregBennett]

Man you guys have to stop giving Trey a big head.

I saw Trey today and I swear his head is twice the size it was the last time I saw him.

Trey, you did a superb job with that interview, those things are really nerve-racking. You presented a great image for snake keepers everywhere and did a great job giving calm, polite unbiased information, you were also really good about not using any herping specific jargon or slang.

I really wish I could say the same about the reporters, you got cut off a lot (or at least it sounded like it, I really think you would have sounded even better in a slightly longer interview where you actually got to say all that you want to say. Putting all that footage of unexplained huge snakes next to you was really unhelpful and stupid.

From where I was sitting all the 'ooh, you have 130 snakes!!! lol' nonsense just made them look immature and closeminded, but I daren't hope that everyone else will notice that.

Thanks for being a great face for snake keeping

I must admit being an outsider of the usa and watching your news. I always get this feeling that fox are fea rmonger's who wil;l jump at what ever they think generates the biggest thrill.

I understand trying to get on there and explain your hobby but these are not the types of interviewers who really allow that. They mostly thrust what they think down everyone's throat.

Next time simply tell fox to shove it. The fact you owned 130 BP's and they were showing a giant anaconda on the split screen proves the point exactly.

Buncha idiots. Can't believe anyone even watches them.

But good try none the less bet your website hits went through the roof haha

I've never did like watching much TV, not even the news, and this is why...

Good job!

Maybe someone could apply to an interview with "60 minutes" or any other more civilized reporters with both sides of the coin.

I agree with this.

Trey; you did an awesome job, man. I admire you greatly for doing this.

This is the case for ALL MEDIA... not just Fox, I've seen plenty worse from other stations/newspapers/magazines/etc.
I've also noticed that non-party based issues tend to get the same "OMGPANIC" treatment from all places. Doesn't matter what the political slant is, giant snakes destroying the everglades is something that any news center would love to instantly blow out of proportion for the sake of ratings.

But I'll echo everyone else here by saying, great job Trey! It's so awesome to see a spokesperson from the actual reptile community there to stand for us, kudos man!
This is something I really hope for, that more actual breeders and experts are called upon for future interviews, we need more smart people out there giving the REAL facts and letting our side of the story be known (heck, I'd love a shot at it myself, I'd talk their ears off!)
