    Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction

    My herpetologist professor actually mentioned these shows on Animal Planet today and sort-of did a chuckle and muttered something along the lines of 'it's a shame AP is only made of BS now-a-days'.

    Was quite happy to hear that some of the scientists are on our side.

    Aren't I glad I barely watch Tv anymore

    Though, I do want to see how much crap they are saying from what I'm reading on this thread.

    People really need to get real and stop purchasing animals they can't even take care of. They are 100% dependant on you for their care and you need to give them the proper conditions and food so they can survive, not let them run around your apartment or give them a poor diet.

    I saw the "Aliens" show last night and as stated earlier, watched the "Fatal Attraction" one earlier.

    Tiff, maybe you should watch them for yourself. I am finding that people here are as guilty of overreacting and misrepresentation as the shows they are accusing of the same.

    It's always better to form your own opinion rather than adopt one from someone else. This holds especially true in controversial and emotional issues.

    While the rest of you are boycotting Animal Planet maybe you should instead consider boycotting reptile breeders who will happily sell giant constrictors, venomous animals and large varanids to any jackass who can afford one.

    even though skips, were are truth hurting, i guess it is mostly right, but the show was filled with lies, remember, when it showed the snake slithering and said, this thread coud be on it way to you, are somthing like that. at some point they were trying to say it going to spread world wide, it is plain to see that the snake media is all one-sideded but i agree not anyone should buy a large snake, but online breeders can't hav a screening process

    How about breeders at Reptile Expos - and I disagree with the screening process part - where there is a will, there is a way. The only "will" is the one tied to green pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents on them.

    As for the show "Aliens" I found it alternately filled with exaggeration and truth. After reading the diatribes on this thread I wondered if I was even watching the same show that got some of you all worked up and sweaty.

    I'm wondering why all the outrage is focused on the bit of exaggeration and drama, instead of the true facts that the show presented.

    This is a man-made problem caused by people in the exotic pet hobby. I see very few people stepping up to the plate and trying to fix what's wrong with the exotic pet trade. However, I still see "respectable" breeders selling giant constrictors, large varanids and in some case hots to anyone with the money to buy one.

    USARK took some positive first steps in North Carolina with the legislation they introduced and it was widely derided in our community for it's guarantees of proper, responsible ownership enforcement of potentially dangerous reptiles. I am more outraged at people who oppose such proactive attempts at legislation and people who blithley ignore the fruits of their own misdeeds than I am at the small bits of sensationalism portrayed in Animal Planet's programming.

    You all better focus on cleaning up the messes in our own little community before your whip out the pitchforks and march on NG and AP.

    Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction

    SKiploader, your right again, your must be an older person, cause your knowedge is hard-hitting with fairness on both sides, and not may younger people, including myself see it that way, untill presented with the above, i live in NC, and yes it was good, But agree its not like Usark, can go to florida and all its members go on a burm/moniter hunt, so mabye they should be exterminated, poor animals but it is people fault and somthing needs to be done, also not sure if it metioned in show but outside of petsnakes in cages killing owners, has there been in any "wild" snake or moniter attacks of fatalites.. lol im prepariong myself for the burm invasion

    They believe he died from his infection, and that the monitors then ate him after having no other food source for days.
    lol!

    omg, i'm sorry but that's the funniest thing i've ever heard.

    wow. you just hit the nail on the head.

    In my opinion, if you cant provide 150% accurate husbandry and a 150% secure enclosure for ONE snake , what the heck makes you think you can get another one.

    I've seen hoarders mentioned a couple of times in this thread.
    If you have 20 snakes, and only 8 of them have a proper enclosure and perfect husbandry, then relocate the rest. seriously. sell them, or return them to the breeder you bought them from.

    But DON'T release them, and DON'T keep them because that just hurts the animal, and it brings shame onto the rest of us that are doing the right things for the right reasons.
