this annoys me (animal planet content)

[DooLittle]

You know, we have seen that show and have had tanks in the past. Hubby and I are going, um, shouldn't they be cycling those tanks....

I honestly just like their tank ideas... xD I'm not a big fish person. It makes sense though that you would have to establish some sort of environment before putting all the fish in. But there have been multiple times where I heard them talking about doing that, so isn't it possible that the producers just cut all that "boring stuff" out to make it seem more exciting?

Well Animal Planet, thought you had at least one redeeming show... Guess not!

It's funny that you would mention tanked! I keep reef aquariums, live rock, coral all that kinda stuff. In the reefing world that show is a joke! Do you realize how many fish and how much coral they are killing when they throw all of that junk together and then add the livestock! It takes months to properly cycle a tank! Tons of patience, testing and knowledge! I guarantee you that 99% of the livestock you see in the show is dead in a few days! Just more misinformation for your entertainment!

Well at least it's not JUST the reptile people that they're pissing off.

wow all the answers are the worst choices possible. so theyre trying to sway people from not getting a python. its always how snakes kill their owner. ive never heard that in my life! the question about how to snake will find you in a darkened room pisses me off!who the hell lets a snake loose in their house!? Patrick J. Kiger is an idiot

How would you like to spend 37 years having this shoved down your throat?

Woot! I got 100%!!!



Can I has python now?

[Salamander Rising]

What I meant by more people own dogs/horses is that pretty much every other house in your neighborhood's most likely going to have some breed of dog. I highly doubt any of them have snakes, and if they do, it's a little cornsnake or ball python that they got for one of their kids or something. Growing up, I only knew ONE person that had any type of snake, and it was a Cali King. Thus, I believe that instead of trying to fight fire with fire (in this case, pointing out that dogs have a higher human injury/death count, because frankly nobody will give a damn since they're "normal" pets that most people have), we need to educate people on proper handling and the risks that happen when you don't correctly care for your animals.

One thing I ALWAYS tell those other end of the spectrum people (the ones that think everything will "bond" with you and be your best friend) is that you only need to underestimate a large constrictor ONCE. One time is all they need to put you in a world of hurt. If you can't practice caution and be alert to possible problems or certain behaviors, then by no means should you even consider getting anything large. You will only hurt our hobby even more because you will be another blown-out-of-proportion news story about how some "innocent person" was "brutally and maliciously attacked for no reason by a bloodthirsty killer snake". More like "idiot keeper didn't feed their large python correct prey/didn't feed them often enough, and in hunger their snake tried for anything".



The only show I like on Animal Planet is "Tanked". Then again, you can't really have any negative things to say about fish...

Never seen the show, but I used to work for a large aquarium installation and maintenance company in the mid-west, and was a reef keeper myself. Even the damn pet stores that sell the fish often are clueless as to proper care. Not much different than the reptile industry I guess. Misinformation is everywhere.
