Dan,
Good call on O'Shea; he's certainly one of my favorites, as well. As for Corwin, he's knowledgeable, but I find myself wishing he WOULDN'T try so hard to be funny. I definitely prefer
a "substance over style" presentation.
As for your "why display" question, althea pretty much nailed it. While holding the snake's mouth wide open certainly stresses it, the show is simply giving the viewers what they want. I have to admit I get stoked seeing venom dripping off a taipan's fangs. If the practice were ever banned, I'd still watch the shows and would still enjoy them. ----- Venomous snakes---best hobby on earth!
