    Fatal Attractions

    Anyone happen to catch the episode where they found the guy mostly eatin alive by all of his monitors? How possible is that whole scenario of him getting bit and the saliva making him pass out and then all of his monitors ate him? Is this T.V. just being T.V. or can/did this really happen like they say?

    I thought he died for other reasons and they just ate him because they were hungry. IDK its a weird story though.

    He got salmonella poisoning from a bite from one of his monitors and never went to get treated for it and died. The monitors, then unfed began eating him. It would be possible, especially with the numerous bites he has received on a daily basis, but most people would seek help when feeling that sick.

    Watching these useless shows only gives the show better ratings, so the best thing to do is to ignore the shows. Showing interest in these shows will only cause more and more shows like this to pop up.

    Yea like most of not ALL Reality shows on Fox, MTV and so on are garbage but ppl watch it due to it catches their eye in one way or another. Millions watch these shows, you saying for a small community to stop will do nothing to the show.

    Well us keeping our herps and enjoying the hobby is something that this community believes very strongly in, so why support something that just puts the hobby down? That statement is just like saying, im only one person what can I do? Every little bit can count. Maybe if we boycott those shows, yet watch educational ones on the same channel, they might realize that the station can make more money from the more realistic shows, instead of bashing the community.

    OMG What an idiot. Did he have rattle snakes and black widows too? Why would anyone keep something that could easily eat a child, as a pet? I'll Stick with my domestics! Oh and of course my handsome Mayhem!

    I've seen that episode quite a few times, he obviously had no other problems with those monitors. It is very dangerous though having so many roaming free, but I love them to death!

    I hate it how they made it sound like they killed them, so irritating.

    It can only eat your child if you are an irresponceable owner. Guess im an idiot, my burm is almost 150 lbs and my 40 lb daughter loves being around her.
