Rob from Scales and Fangs is the only person on that blasted programme with half an ounce of sense. That muppet handling a Boa with gloves on was such an epic tool, surely he knows a defensive bite is going to be very unlikely to hit where you are supporting them and a ''killer'' bite is followed by a constrict where gloves will do you no good anyway. He also defrosted a mouse using boiling water for 45 minutes, thats not defrosting thats cooking. The show really needs to really point out instead of just hinting at the difference between an experienced handler, able to safely handle a genuinely deadly snake and some turnip who is only well known because he managed to lose a great big Boa constrictor and didn't think to check his own garden before causing panic. I actually feel really sorry for the guy with the monitor, just hints of a deeper story than a nutter with a croc in his house.
AND I cannot believe channel 5 were stupid enough to have the narrator say lizards are kept at 85 degrees CENTIGRADE! Yeah if you want them done extra crispy.
