I know- I havent watched the program but I did see the commercial and it really pissed me off. I dont have a giant- and probably never will own a snake over 13ft, but retics are my favorite kind of snake, I just dont have the space for them or the money to make the space. I thought the guy was pretty pathetic too- I was bit my my friends retic about that size, probably give or take a foot, and it did NOT hurt that bad. I mean it didnt exactly feel good, but it was just like a BP bite- only alot bigger. He over-reacted alot.. And yea, I had my grandmother calling after that show saying, "see I told you not to deal with any damn snakes!!" *sighs*....
