IT was just like all the story's, Scare people.They had their clown reporter there pointing to Jim Bob the Airboat guy who killed some himself! They said the State of Fl. was thinking about a bounty on them. Hummmm...I live here in Florida and dont think they are going to do that,....Just BAND them ,its cheeper.No one who counts would be hurt! The reporter stated 150,000 pythons got their by people letting them go. That was pretty much the whole "Fair and balanced report".They didnt interview any of the 150,000 people involved in the caper. Vic...........pic,i'm next

Maybe thats because there wasn't 150,000 people who let them go. Babies are being found so what does thast tell you? This is a real problem and a bounty would make sense with machete's in hand.

I think that was a "tongue in cheek" remark by Vic not intended to be taken as factual....lol...He was being sarcastic in other words...

Thanks Tom, George Carlin made it look so easy! It was ment to be funny. The reporter was a bit of a "cartoon" for such a network like Fox and their image! I'd like them to show the family setting of reptile ownership. By the way when is the show on PBS your involved with going to air? Thanks again. Vic

I'm not sure as we are filming right now. It will be finished after the 4th of July then comes the editing and all the other stuff I know nothing about but Nigel is an expert. From the dvd he brought with him from the first shoot it looks to be a great documentery. I can tell you this Nigel is EXCELLENT IN HIS UNDERSTANDING AND ABILITY to make these kind of films. The footage I saw looks incredible and I have no doubt the finished product will be a hard act to follow. I'm not at liberty to say more but there are some sequences that will be copied forever by other film producers....

Tom,

Thanks to you and Nigel for this...Will copies (DVD) be available for purchase later on (from maybe USARK)? Perhaps the funds could used for donation to support future legislative action or the produce another show later on? Just wondering...

Later,
Jim.
