You could tell that fellow was squeamish a bit but he was not hysterical. Nice interview. You did very well.

I think it went pretty well. You may still want to consider writing them a letter to make the correction on the caption to the clip. False reporting is a big no-no as long as you can prove it.

I was very hesitant and concerned when I first heard about this...but you really did well, and even though that last comment about "They eat Rabbits" that the guy made....I still think it made some positive impact for snakes overall....

Now I don't know about the future of your neiborhood...The local neibors could still be a problem now...but you must have considered that before you started...

So I think Job Well Done!
