The more I get into reptiles the more the general media just angers me. I understand Disney not wanting to work with dangerous snakes on set, but why misrepresent the most harmless snakes around as dangerous? It is no wonder people have such issues with snakes. They are teaching kids to fear reptiles, but how often do you see Disney shows with aggressive dogs? etc.
On fatal attractions they covered a woman who was bitten by one of her hot snakes and died. They showed footage of the Hamm show in Germany and painted reptile shows in horrible light. "ANYBODY can buy any animal they want if they have the money" etc. Supposedly, all reptile breeders are just in it for the money and want to breed an army of deadly reptiles to invade white-bread America!
