    Snake Underworld with Henry Rollins, anyone see this on NatGeo?

    My dad called me today to tell me he watched a show last night about snakes and snake keepers--"Oh great," I thought. I figured it was probably some ratings land-grab show about how we are crazy or shine us in a negative light somehow. He said it was actually really good, and all about the hobby and different aspects of it (Morph breeders, large constrictor keepers, venomous keepers, etc.). Although NatGeoWild has a few video clips from it that look pretty good! Anyone else happen to see this? Would like to hear what you though of it!

    I thought it was pretty good. I think most of the show was dedicated to the keeping of venomous snakes. I would have liked to see more constrictors.

    I saw it. It did tell a lot about the hobby but, yeah, focused a lot on venomous and illegal reptile trafficking. It was informative but I hated hearing about how people try to sneak illegal or endangered snakes into the country. This one guy had so many illegal snakes he would have gone to jail for a long time were he found out. I love collecting snakes and herping but I don't think it should be done illegally. But then some of the rules should change too...
