Has anyone seen the show SnakesKin on Animal Planet?
It's actually pretty good and a drastic departure from all the propaganda we've come to expect. Perhaps we should send letters to AP thanking them for running a show that doesn't sensationalize and misinform.

I saw it. It was OK. I wasn't particularly impressed by it, and won't go out of my way to watch more. Sure, It beats crap like "Fatal attractions"...but is that good enough reason to embrace it?

Definitely made snakes out to be "scary dangerous animals" and IMO didn't really make the handlers look "good". I thought some of the snake handling was a bit rough & sensationalist as well, like swinging that cantankerous water snake at those homeowners.

I will say the new channel "National Geographic Wild" kicks animals planets behind, and has real animal programs, not all the Animal Rights pushed propaganda. I am just going to keep not watching anything Animal Rights planet continues to pump out.

I saw it by accident. His wife seemed a bit wacky, but he was ok. Some of the "help" looked like homeless people.

I'm not saying it's perfect or the pinnacle of reptile-related entertainment, but it's a fun show and doesn't make my blood boil when I watch it.
