Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Did anyone catch the episode of animal cops they aired lastnight? They were responding to a drug raid or something that had went down and they found some Iggys, a albino retic, and a ball and a scorpion. I found it amusing that they were useing the snake vise to get the ball out of his enclosure and then the guy was holding it like it was a HOT or something!! Maybe they felt it was necassary and maybe it was but it was just funny to me! The ball and the Retic were awesome looking tho! The iggys were cool aswell im just not that into them!

"snakes are kind of like potato chips, you cant have just one"

I found parts of it funny but all i could really do was cringe at the misinformation and scare tactics. The large snake was an Albino Burmese by the way. Which the vet wasted no time in saying that it wasa snake that should not be kept by a private individual and it will get big enough to eat your children. Watching these retards catch the animals was way too funny though. Especially since the guy practically proclaimed himself an expert but couldn't identify a burmese python.

Those shows worry me. It often seems there too happy to euthanize animals. I can't help but wonder if they'll put the burm down if a zoo won't take it.

Was it a burm?? I didnt even notice that! opps! Anywho yea i have seen burms retics eat many small children, hell theres atleast one new channel a month here that reports on it!! They dont do that where you live?? lol Yea it was typical small minded thinking and from a vet!!! IDIOTS!!

FYI... The people that took the python are from a reptile rescue so hopefully they will keep it or find a good home for it!!

Yeah but the womans attitude from the reptile rescue was just as bad as the ignorant animal cops and scare tactic using vet. But at least they sought vet care and are giving it a home.

Can also hope that that talk is for the TV. I didn't see the show myself, just seen animal cops shows.
