and I find it hard to believe the guy who was "just going to change the water" was attacked as said. He just seemed to anti snake to have been telling the truth, kind of misplacing blame, ya know?? "I always look out of the corner of my eye, and the snake was coiled and docile, I look away for one second and he latched onto my face", from my experience, that is just about impossible to go from coiled position and make a 3' lunge with accuracy. Either way, aerial access enclosures are NO GOOD for large boids, and if you plan on reaching into your snakes enclosure, be sure to lightly nudge it on the nose with an inanimate object to turn it's feeding responses off (cold bottles of water work GREAT, but a snake hook will do). I saw that show last night and listened to that guys statement and saw a bunch of new boa enthusiasts just turned off.. And to make matters worse, they played the statement at the end during credits.. Nothing like one man's irresponsible mistake misleading the mass public.
