    Storage Hunters Show, Goign to Far

    Show iso n right now, and just seen that a locker was filled with tanks. And in them tanks were albino ball pythons and Piebalds. All dehydrated and underweight.

    This show is rigged for money, but to setup the locker with snakes like that was a bit much.

    Not saying it dont happen, but when it comes to TV, and to say them snakes been there for 3+ months no food or water is far fetched. All for Ratings and went too far on that aspect of it.

    the tanks in there were not 3+ months dirty.

    ...If the snakes haven't had food, then the tanks aren't going to get dirty.

    The show already has a disclaimer to tell viewers its staged.

    Which is why the snakes i guarantee were staged. If someone didnt know about them or other animal, they wouldnt be out looking to find a buyer, they be calling Animal Contrl.

    Who would abandon snakes in a storage locker when they could so easily sell them if they didnt have money to pay for it anymore? This sounds so far fetched would viewers actually believe this lol?

    Think of all the other stupid things that the average person will believe about reptile owners, snake owners in particular

    I saw this too and agree with you that it was totally staged. That poor Boa was so thin! The Albino and Piebald ball pythons however were in good shape.
