lol i mentioned this in another thread in the corn, milk, king forum.

my mum and sisiter were watching it and called me over because it was about a snake, and they thought i might like it. Took one look, thought Honduran milk, then i kept complaining about it for the rest of the programme abut the fact that they didnt even choose a good mimic of the coral snake and that how she reacted to the the venom was unrealistic and just basically how cr*p the story was. they were very annoyed with me.
I wouldnt have minded the programme if it wasslightly more realistic for instance if she kept poisonous snakes and was bitten by one of her animals which is much more likely than one sneaking back in her luggage and biting her.
I hate it when people think theyu know stuff but actually have no idea and think they know what they are talking about. for instance i get really annoyed at zoos when stupid unintelligent people are telling their children all this s*it about an animal whic is all a complete lie. 'Oh look at that snake *points at slow worm* i bet that could kill you with one bite, no damien do not touch the glass, you never know what it might do' and when parents say oh look at the tiger and points at a lion. I get p*ssed off and correct them which annoys them, i once had a go at a woman for banging and shouting on an enclosure conating komodo dragons trying to get them to move. i get asked really stupid questions about my snakes as well, for instance 'have you ever gone to hospital afetr being bitten?' 'aren't all snakes really big?' do snakes have a anus?' do they drink?' 'arent they just a tail with a head?'

right i have had my word and i am sorry for the long post

i wouldnt mind knowing where the zoo sequence was shot though.

when i went to san diego zoo i went to see the hippos and this old american guy was trying to impress his wife and another couple. he said that hippos can stay underwater for five hours and they even sleep underwater, oh yeah and they eat plankton. i was laughing some much especially because there was a sign behind which said in bold that hippos can stay underwater for about fifteen minutes.
