It was vile. It was more of the scare mongering garbage like we saw from the history channel.

They brought up the usgs map, and implied how the giant snakes in our homes are a disaster waiting to happen, and if we tire of them we could dump them and cause an "outbreak" of feral snakes anywhere in that range.

Feral cats were never mentioned, the key largo wood rat was though. Pythons are apparently going to eat everything up down in the everglades, according to the program. The everglades are a "vast wilderness" too, according to this...hmmm...

The only python keeping info they really provided was of "killer snakes", and how these snakes in our private hands could be "out to get-cha'" if we are not careful.

I also liked how the burms in SC were doing well into December, and they worked every end of scare tactic on that...and that was where they ended. I'd like to know how they are doing now ?...for some reason I don't think hanging out 40' up in a tree will prevent icicles from forming on their dead bodies.

Its a shame. I expected more from National Geographic. We should let them know JUST how lousy their program was, and how unscientific it was too. I know I am going to.
