"I never said Jim was a sell out. I said he should have known better and he should of. We all know what Animal Planet's agenda is. And if you don't think ego played a part in him being on this show...well, denial is a river in Egypt. "

Known better than to what? Spread entirely factual information on national television? It's not Jim's job to look out for the interests of the private reptile industry, of which he is not a part. But he IS friendly toward us in general, at the moment. How long will that continue -for him and other friends in professional herpetology/zoological parks/museums-if some of us insist on trashing them whenever they have the temerity to so much as show their faces on programs which might be construed as being critical of some herpers?
