Default I'm gonna be on TV....with a big snake (LOL)

Every Monday for the last month TV crews have been following Lance (Jepson...our exotic vet) around the hospital!

We've had various different reptiles in the hospital and this week we had a 10ft Burmese Python...it just so happened that I was on reception this week so I got filmed booking them in and asking her about the snake etc and was sat in the background whilst they interviewed the owner!

Its all for a TV programme about him, I think its going to be called 'A Very Exotic Vet' and will be on ITV, they still have about 10 weeks of filming so hopefully I'll get to pop on screen more and maybe do some nursing stuff too (be great for my portfolio)

Can't wait for it to be shown on TV

I'm gonna be on that program too! With burms and green iguanas....
I was under the impression it was gonna be a program about the veterinary side of exotics, but he was just playing with animals, explaining how they don't always make suitable pets because of their size, requirements etc.
And your all right, hes a good vet.
