Scott,
David is a interesting character to talk with.
And, he probably would be fun to go herping with.
I do not agree with using animals for showmanship, and some of the stunts that were on the jackass shows, however, for some folks, that is just what they do, and who they are.
As others have said, that is unfortunately what the world wants to see on TV these days.
When you are at the show, stop by and talk with David a bit. I think you will find him to be knowledgeable, and actually fun to talk with, and I think you will find that although he does dangerous things, that he does not want to see kids try to copy what he does.
Best Regards
John Z

Actually, David has been the center of much armchair scrutiny here on this site.
It will be good to meet him in person and watch to see if some of the more critical people here will be willing to walk up and introduce themselves.
It is always a shame, to me, that people act so differently from the comfort of their computer chair than they do in person.
I look forward to meeting, and re-meeting, many people in Columbia.

David has been a great friend for many years, and a very knowlegable venomous keeper. He has had opportunities to work with some of the most exotic/rare venomous snakes, and has gained a plethora of knowledge along the way.
I think you should introduce yourself, and take the time to actually talk to him to learn what he believes in. You will find the "real" David there, and understand what a great guy he actually is...

Had a great time at the show this weekend! Only complaints are the confusion over mangrove snakes and the atm running out of money... Had a guy, in a repticon shirt, approach me because I was carrying a container that had a mangrove snake inside it. He said that they had to be escorted out and I told him that was strange because there were several vendors in the nonvenomous section with them... I think he attempted to locate and "bust" them as well.... I later was informed that he didn't know what he was talking about because the people that put on the show said they were fine in the nonvenomous as long as they had tape or clamps... I think it'll cause less frustration in the future, for vendors and customers alike, if everyone is on the same page with what is or isn't the protocol... As for rear-fanged mildly venomous goes, if mangroves are gonna be looked upon in such a way that this guy claimed then I guess hognoses, tarantulas, giant centipedes and the like should be pushed to the "venomous" section as well... The atm running out of money during the last hour of the show was frustrating as well and I'm sure it hurt sales.... I know I wasn't able to pick up a few more things myself because of it (now multiply that by several hundred people)... Other than that, I had a great time and picked up some great animals...
