Hi, so this isn't really about corns but a lot of people have various reptiles so you'll probably be interested in this. 
New series on 5 starts Wednesday at 8pm, called Essex Jungle. Here's the blurb from the channel 5 website...
"Iain Newby set up the Dangerous Wild Animals Rescue Facility (DWARF) 18 years ago in the village of Little Wakering, Essex. He now looks after more than 70 exotic animals and works tirelessly to fund the centre and rescue the unusual pets that others have abandoned. Iain’s latest rescue is a 9ft boa constrictor, which has tried to kill its owner twice. Unsurprisingly, the boa is no longer welcome in his owner’s terraced home just over the border in Dartford.
In Leigh-on-Sea, Rob runs the Scales and Fangs pet shop. The establishment is always busy, but every Wednesday Rob gets a bumper crowd when he feeds his incredibly dangerous collection of rattlesnakes. It is a nerve-wracking morning – and Rob needs all his wits about him to make sure he doesn't suffer a potentially deadly bite.
Meanwhile, reptile enthusiast Jackie Lewis is looking for a mate for her bearded dragon, Sebastian. Local pet-shop owner John, who runs Smooth and Scaly in Westcliff-on-Sea, thinks he has a match for Sebastian. But will the blind date work out?
Finally, ex-prison guard and football manager Chris Weller introduces his menagerie of dangerous animals: six-foot Asian monitor lizard Hector, crocodile Caesar and iguana Rocky!" |

I don't see why a boa would try and kill a person... Unless it wnated to nom it but I find it difficult to imagine at 9ft that it could manage? Unless the owner is a midget or dwarf? If it is a lie I don't see why they do it :/ it will only mean they get a ton of rage comments.
I can see me going awww a lot XD |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I'm only curious about one thing.
The feeding of the rattlesnakes.
Depending on how he does it, it's dangerous enough as it is without loads of people disturbing you and upsetting the snakes. It sounds absolutely daft if you ask me. |

| I thought the rescue guy and the shop guy were quite guy. Did make me want to slap the guy who previously owned the boa, the simplest solution would be not drape it round your neck and loop round! The rest seemed like they weren't all there... though damn that old man had some lovely beasts. |
