I disagree, I think he looked pretty comfortable, what you might be mistaking as nervousness is Treys hands shaking, and what you probably dont know is Trey has a tremor condition in his hands which causes his hands to shake like that normally and sometimes it can be bad enough to even tell it in his voice. This is what you are probably mistaking as nervousness, his fellow breeders here in Georgia give him a hard time about it all the time. But I think Trey looked very collected and did a great job, its hard to say how anyone would do put in the same situation, with less than a day to prepare.

I didn't even notice it until he mentioned it himself. He looked good and calm. His answers were great and on point, too. Very well handled!

Honestly, I can't imagine it being stated any better than she put it.

First I want to say, awesome letter Judy - very very well written.
However I really think they could have done better. Look at this local story I posted awhile back with Jeff Corwin. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ht=corwin+news Granted this was a local, not national, station, and Corwin's a pretty famous dude, but at least the reporters were a little more curious and excited about the reptiles than outright blindly afraid and dismissive. I find a lot of the Fox national news stories to be purely sensationalist, unfortunately.

Thanks! And I totally agree that it could have been done a LOT better. Hence the purpose for my letter to them. And I do believe there are plenty of journalists out there who are still true journalists and can do a fine job of presenting a story without spinning it with their own personal prejudices. Unfortunately, very few of them work national news, and even fewer work the BIG time on the national news like the morning shows or prime time shows. I find almost all the news presented nationally to be purely sensationalist...regardless of which station is putting it out. It's just harder to see it that way when you agree in general with the spin it's being given.

Re: Fox News 9:45 Friday Morning
I hated the part where the host said "How do you know for sure they won't escape"
I wanted to scream... the same way you know your dog won't get away... It was a stupid question....
Good job Trey.

Great job man. He could have had better questions but you handled it well

Re: Fox News 9:45 Friday Morning
I think trey did very well.
The questions though sucked and got us nowhere. It seems like they were more interested in the fact that he has over 100 snakes than the issue at hand.
