You guys are going to love this. I e-mailed the studio manager expressing my concern that they had no clue what they were talking about, and that I was angered they portrayed the snake as some big monster when in fact it was not.
Here is their response:
Are you kidding me? Is anyone seeing a repeat of the interview that fireballs did with fox? What should I say back?
Explain to them that yes, the snake the "expert" is holding is a ball python, but the snake in the tank that they are calling a boa is a ball python as well. Politely tell them that no where in the report is a boa constrictor shown.
