Hey, I watch all of your shows, Rob! I just recently watched a show that you made in america (rattlerviile 2), and I agree that the standard snake tong is a bit of a cruel method used to catch venemous snakes. I have looked all over the web, and I can't seem to find a jigger like yours. Could you please tell me a website that sells a jigger similar to yours?
Thanks a Lot

I currently own 3 sugar gliders (cuddly soft marsupials not venomous snakes for those who do not know) and am saddend by the amount of animal owners who get pets before they fully learn about how to care for them. Shows like Killer Instincts help people understand these exotic animals and may help eliminate common stareotypes. (For example a lot of people believe that because the sugar glider is called a sugar glider they only eat sugar!)
Thank you for opening up the eyes of the people and perhaps saving animals.

Hello Rob , great to see how much airtime killer instinct gets here in canada . It's on maybe four time a day . I was watching the other night and saw the edward river croc farm . Do you know if Peter is still working there ? and also do you think the farm will be there for a long time , is it government funded ? I was wondering how peter came to be where he is , did his father work there ? If theres one thing I miss about oz its a fresh caught barra and some muddies on a fire on the banks of the chapman . Its truly a magical place and I hope to take my kids there one day soon . p.s is the other river just near the chapman called the morgan river . P.s. if your out at pormparraw with the halroyd's and chapman's buy a couple of them a beer for me. thanks mate

Firstly your show kicks the crocadile hunter's butt , it's interesting to see that the last two years I've been in Canada his show seems to have disappeared while killer instinct continues .My son loves your show,so do I. I believe I was mistaken in my recent note , it's not the chapmans its the Holroyds and the Jonson family in pormparraw ( one place I always have trouble spelling) isn't it . Are the two creeks on each side of Pormparraw called the chapman and the johnson ?

Update - I haven't heard from Rob's producers since about Sept. 2003. As far as I know, he's not answering questions on this article any longer.
Thanks, Webmaster

i don't know if you'll have time to read this, but i hope so..
i live in canada, and i am having a problem with the mentality of "animal lovers". a year ago, i thought it would be a great idea to work in a pet store (I was wrong.) i am still working there because i have no other job to go to. and it just completely KILLS me to have to be placed in an area where absolutely NONE of the animals are happy. the cages are too small, birds should fly and not be caged,dogs and cats can't live in boxes and the poor reptiles are cramped in 10 gallon tanks. everyday i am upset at work because of this, and also the people who buy these animals have the "well if it dies, i can just buy another one" attitude. they don't understand what death is i guess, i wish the pet trade was never created. animals should stay in their natural homes, not in 'boxes'. i admit i do have a couple animals at home but this is because i cannot stop the pet trade, so i sort of 'rescue' these animals in a way. at work it's really sad because of all the people working there, i am the only one who actually makes sure these animals stay healthy. i clean the reptile tanks every day when no one else "has time to" i can't write things off that the animals NEED TO SURVIVE because the managers have a big problem with it.
If an animal is arboreal, it stresses out on the ground, if an animal is nocturnal, it should HAVE a hiding place and low lighting. none of these are being considered, and i fear for these poor animals when i leave. we had a blackthroat (cape) monitor at the store and everyone was scared of her because she whipped her tail and hissed at everyone. Now... she's going to be 6 feet TL and aggressive. And nobody is going to tame this lizard? so i thought to myself, i should handle her. at this time i just started working with reptiles and had no idea of the way they act. but i didn't care, all i thought about was her well being, so i began petting her on her back, of course she hissed loudly, flattened out and whipped, but i was determined to gain her trust, so everyday i would feed her (oh yeah, the only food they gave her was dog food and crickets (she didn't eat the crickets anymore because she was too big and the dog food has so much fat in it because it's for puppies) and talk to her and pet her and eventually she stopped flattening out and whipping. One day i decided to pick her up (with no knowledge of how to handle a monitor lizard) and she cooperated nicely, there were people walking around on the floor so i took her to the back where i could hold her in peace, and she began to trust me. i would sing to her with a soft voice and pet her on her head (her favourite petting spot) and i would handle her on my hour long breaks everyday, and eventually she was so tame that she would snuggle up to my neck and close her eyes and listen to me. the amazing intelligence that monitors have amazes me. when you look into their eyes you can see the ancient wisdom that they carry. She was the only lizard i was ever so attached to like that. I named her "Kira". i made sure the person she went with thoroughly knew what she was supposed to be fed and what care was needed for her, so the guy built a room specially for her. but 3 months later i got a call from the guy saying she was 'getting too big' and she was only 4 feet long. i told him how often she had to be handled to keep her tame and he said he understood, but i don't think she was handled that often because he said she was too hard to handle and aggressive. so i tried to find a home for her and i couldn't for the longest time and one day the guy came in to the store and told me she was moved to a new home with 2 other cape monitors. and it's supposedly right down the street from me :) but i am still waiting for the guy to give me the phone number to where she is so i can see her. but the point i am trying to get across is that people should understand what they are getting into when they purchase an animal, consider the commitment and take care of them properly. oh also i was looking on the reptile order list and there were even NILE monitors for ordering on there. i personally don't believe monitor lizards who exceed 4 feet should be in captivity. and i wish i could stop it. but i just really wanted to share my story with you because i can't tell anyone else what i believe without losing my job and i really depend on the money. (which is sad cuz we should be able to survive without money) please email or reply back, my email is:
