Yeah, but if you really followed it on channel 6 it got really ridiculous. The "facts" came up with were really something(I didn't make those up,they really used them.) That station should fire their fact checker. I felt bad fr the reporter until after the clip from pet bazaar where they showed the tank full of savs. and said they were niles and then interviewed Chaz. I know Chaz very well, he used to help me with a little pet store I ran several years back at flea world and I have known him for years, so I know he knows his monitors, very well and definitely knows the difference between niles and savs. I talked to him after the report and busted on him about it, he told me they had a couple niles in the store at the time but the reporters insisted on filming the savs and calling them niles. I guess there is no reason to let the facts get in the way of a good story. As far as the cops shooting the monitor in a heavily populated area like that (I actually sought out the retention pond-I'm a monitor guy, what do you expect!-this pond is surrounded by homes well within range of small arms ) that demonstrates a whole new level of irresponsibility. Having grown up in south Texas around guns...I can't describe on this forum what would have happened to me had I pulled some stunt like that as a kid. If local police would put as much dilligence into combating the armed robbery and murder problem(remember the ihop robbery around the corner in Cassleberry from the lizard pond.) perhaps we wouldn't have such an armed robbery/murder problem as we do.
