"ROLLINS: It looks at the keeper as much as the kept. We hang out with people who are professionals who have huge enclosures, acres and acres, where they’re breeding animals outside, like iguanas and crocodilians. Then we meet the guy who’s buying a rattlesnake with money. He’s paying cash for the most toxic rattlesnake in America, the Mojave. So we’re basically getting into the keepers who are keeping rattlesnakes in their homes in a residential neighborhood, and they haven’t told the neighbors, who will find out [when they see this program]."
Along with "AX: At what point and why did you decide to stop keeping snakes yourself?"
"ROLLINS: They are high-maintenance, if you want to be a good keeper, and so it was a combination of traveling more and more and more and more, getting more busy."
He'd better never get, oh, I don't know, a dog? a cat? Good lord, I could lend him a parrot or a horse...then he'd think himself a punished slave is snakes are high-maintenance!
Wow, along with some of the other stuff he is saying, I have now lost all my respect for him. I know what he says about feeling OK with snake keeping, but hes sure going to help nail us to the wall in the eyes of the "average Joe".
