As I am pretty sure PBS doesn't read Kingsnake forums... I suggest to everybody who has seen the show in question, to write to PBS (I am sure there are contact methods listed on their website) and in a professional manner, (and with as much backup reference links/names/documents you can round up) describe every aspect of the show which is inaccurate, wrong, etc... Question the authenticity of the show etc...and why PBS and other stations are not broadcasting shows about the impact on Americans if the large snakes are put on the Lacey Act....that the giant snake problem is a state issue, not a country wide issue etc.

It certainly wouldn't hurt if everybody emails all the major TV/Radio stations and protest the broadcasting of such one sided and inaccurate programs. Again sticking with a professional manner with as much legit resources to back up what you are saying.

Presenting counter arguments, like the damage to local wildlife by feral cats, dogs, inconsiderate and cruel humans and really, the fatality of native wildlife by cars running them over by the millions each year across the country, including rare species of animals. (only reason they are not as many, as more common animals, is because they are rare...). Not to mention the destruction of habitat causes more extinctions and endangering of species than any invasive species.
