I always wanted a mangrove snake when I was a kid. “They’re rear-fanged,” I told my mom. “That means they have to swallow you before they envenomate you.” I finally got to hold one in Indonesia recently. Very cool. Nigel brought out some of my favorite animals during this show.
This just in from my friends at NARBC:
Tune in to The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on Friday, August 28th to check out some of the rare breeds of reptiles that are available at the show. Thanks to our good friends at Prehistoric Pets, Nigel Marven will be live with Conan for a one-of-a-kind show to introduce the world to some of the most unique herps out there! Prehistoric Pets’ famous, Twinkie, the world’s largest snake is getting ready for her close-up!
Tom Crutchfield sent me some photos yesterday and I thought I would put one up. Tom tells me he’s been helping world-famous Nigel Marven on a documentary film about invasive species in Florida. I bet it will be fantastic!
