I think that it might raise some more interesting discussion about racks vs. naturalistic environments, but it also might create a whole new breed of ‘zoological institution level enclosures or bust’ mentality.
In my opinion, shows that hold these creatures in a positive light are always welcome. All it takes is one person to turn one person. I turned a couple people into ‘keepers’ or the ‘interested-but-researching’ folks, as was done for me. I was scared of snakes until 31 and now I have a herd and am turning it into a career — so it’s not impossible to change perceptions!
