Majority of the information on that show was false....it was kind of a joke, and bad mouthed keepers and breeders in my opinion....

As for the alcohol trick....It really hasn't worked for AfRocks with me. I've tried it before when my big girl nailed me and wouldn't let go...she just bit down harder and tightened her grip. It has worked With Burmese Pythons for me...

As for the warm water trick....never worked for me at all....

The tail tip....I tried it once and it just aggrivated the snake, and the animal bit down harder and tightened its grip.
