I Was In A BBC Earth Documentary - Reaction
Good Morning, Reptilians! As many of you have seen, I was in BBC Earth Documentary recently (kind of, it was filmed a year ago). They didn't do the best job portraying the reptile keeping hobby - they sort of made it seem like a scary thing. I don't normally do these types of videos, but I'm in this one, so I felt like I should talk about it. I also still had all the original footage, which is seen in this video, because a few things were kind of moved around in the final product. 😬
The point of this is not to be negative in any way. There were just a few misleading things in the interview that I wanted to address.
Also, sorry the first half is blurry, we were in a hurry trying to head out to Snake Discovery while we were recording this. As always, I'm not great with technology.
There aren't really timestamps in this video, but here's some rough timestamps of ideas discussed.

Disclaimers:
Although I have a few reptiles, I am in no way a reptile expert. I just research a whole bunch and make videos. Please always do lots and lots of research (outside of these videos) before getting any pet, and please take any sick pet that you have to the vet for care. 💜
