My wife and I enjoyed it.... it was a stunt, yes, but I do think he did a good job of disproving the whole thing about snakes "coming after you" as somebody mentioned. My thing was that I really liked seeing each of the snakes...I'm glad he didn't just use ball pythons, corns, and boas.
I did think it was funny too as he went through and we sat here going "have one, have one, have one, work with one at the zoo, have one" lol
