It's not even their wording. I mean, I'd go to them saying I built a fence to keep my dog in the yard, but not to say that I built a separate building with extra ventiliation and humidity control and multiple temperature controls. They'd make me look like a maniac with 'dangerous wild animals' (as washington state likes to put it). Washington sucks hard core, never move here. Whenever there are reptiles especially snakes on the local news, it is ALWAYS negative and damaging to the herp community. Back to the topic, the media is looking for an extreme, unusually extreme care for unusual animals. They will turn this around and stick up the interviewee's @$$. That's what the media is for; shock value. They will make an institution look good and make every single private keeper look like a maniac. I can go on forever. Or I can stop now,

:I just read the request several times ane nowhere do I see where they want to interview about the PETS.It's about construction and/or changes made to accommodate not just snakes,but any pets other than dogs,cats,whatever.So what's all the hubbub about?
