Dear Rattlers (or their two-legged friends); Umm, I'm a newt guy, so if we lose total control over one of our amphibs during a public presentation, the public risks at most, a good gumming (though it is a little known fact that a pod of firebellies can fully strip the flesh from a full grown man in a little under eight years).
I can't repro the photos here, you have to go to the URL to see them ... but is this 'normal routine' for doing public shows with 'hots'?
Cheers,
a perplexed Wes
