Exclamation Hi Please Help

Hi

Im currently carrying out research for a Promo video which I am making for my local repile/exotic animal retailer. I would really appraciate it if you could halp me out by telling me types of things you would personally find interesting in this video. The type of feedback which I am looking for includes the following:

The types of animals you would like to see
The information which you believe should be included
The type of music I should use

I would appreciate any assistance you can give me,

Christine

1st thing that springs to my mind is please do not show snakes eating.

My other half has snakes, I like them very much but seeing as I very much like mice I cannot watch them eat.

A reptile shop I lived near years ago had a video on their site. Among the cool lizards etc it showed snakes eating and it put me off entirely.

Probably just me being squeamish but if I am that means other people are as well.

I'd say axolotls, they are not very widely known and many people don't know much about them but the are fascinating creatures, maybe if people know a little more about them you wouldn't find as many being unnecessarily hurt,

also maybe a section on spiders as they are very misunderstood and amazing creatures,

praying mantis??

my list goes on

well i know its a reptile shop but DO NOT put African Pygmy Hedgehogs in the video the public have been miss lead by the press so has had to put the breeders on hold while the craze slowly goes down although shops will still be selling and buying more and more for the money if we try as hard as we can you never know!

[QUOTE=Elina;4911631] please do not show snakes eating.

I don't think there is anything wrong with watching a snake or lizard eating a
pre-killed rodent or even a piglet. However if you are seeing someone feed them live then you need to remind them that it is not legal
