"“Believe It Or Not” but The SnakeBabe is on Television again...On Wednesday, January 29th 2003 Maria Gara, AKA The SnakeBabe (http://www.reptilerescue.com) once again enters our homes via prime time television and teaches that not all animals from a pet shop make for good pets..... Then, follow them to her home and hear the stories of how she started a reptile rescue to save these magnificent creatures from slow, painful deaths in pet shops, county fairs, and homes across the country."


Well, here is my opinion on this one: Of course, as usual, another herp rescue person is willing to tell the world how we normal citizens should not keep certain animals, but on the other hand, it is ok for her to rescue them and keep them herself because she is akin to some sort of a super hero. Just listen to the wonderful, awe inspiring, epoch styled music that accompamied the original post.

In my opinion, anyone logging onto the suggested site will probably only be racking up points for her, which her promoter (get that her promoter - do you think maybe they are only trying to make money at the expense of the hobby - I sure wonder about this myself although I cannot say one way of the other right now), will likely later use to show how popular she is, when in fact she may well be adding fuel to the fire of the anti-herpers. Give us a break please.

All of my above statements were my opinion.

Sincerely,
Glenn Bartley
