I've seen most of the episodes and the coverage could have been more fair. For example, they could have interviewed a "normal responsible" reptile owner and contrast that person's lifestyle and habits against their extreme example. I think if they made that comparison, then the focus would be more on the obsessive compulsive/hoarding behavior (which i believe should be the true intent) rather than the keeping of reptiles or any animals as being freaky, but you have to admit... free handling ANY venomous snake is indeed freaky. But it's a show... they have to portray the extreme scenarios in order to attract viewers and increase ratings.
