I received an email from a film company in England. They make shows for Animal Planet. They are filming a 3 part series on infestations. One of the infestations is in Rexburg Idaho. It's a house that has a garter snake den under it. Two families have moved out due to the snakes. They found me searching on the internet. They want me to bring up a bunch of garter snakes to use in filming this show!! Nikki will be going with me to help! WOO HOO!! The filming will probably done on July 7th, possibly also the 8th. I will get paid for my time and travel and will get credit as the "Snake Wrangler" in the show too! I am planning on getting a copy of the show too! I can't wait!!

Thats pretty sweet Don!. I just hope they don't make it into a horry show like that one Monsters show they did with the burms, and make it like the visious and ferocious garter snake haunted the house and terrorized the two families and practically killed them, but they were lucky to escape and move out alive. lol, Don't let them demonize the garters!

its a show in infestations....just a home on a garter snake den that 2 families freaked out over. gonna be more of a documentary type thing about the situation.... they have emailed me a ton of questions so far! doesn't seem like its gonna be anything bad about the snakes. I can't wait!

I am already on animal planet in one of the Animal Rescue shows....had a cat down a 60 foot storm drain...city workers helped rescue that cat. was really cool! it was a few years ago...2001 I believe....I was a lot thinner and had hair..... :eek:

I am showing up everywhere..... :p My pic of me and my florida blue out in front of me on a snake hook is on a Michigan Herp Society newsletter and there's an article about me in the European Garter Snake Association journal!

Don, pretty soon you will have to be signing autographs everywhere you go and you won't be able to go to certain public places for fear of the paparazzi chasing you down.:rolleyes::p:D

Is the house for sale? I am in the market, I will be sure to leave the den thing out when telling my wife about it though.

Congrats Don!

Very cool! I, too, want to know just where this house is. How fun!

Found articles about one of the homeowners, but no pics :(

It's in the article silly. Wilford, Idaho.:p

I know, that's not enough. I want the actual address! They could make it a tourist attraction!

I found video! They're wandering garters! The house is on the market again. I'd buy it if I had the money.

I like how in that article the wildlife biologist pointed out that it is illlegal to kill the garters.
If you scroll down after reading that article there is another article in the "weird news" about "maggots on a plane". looks like a new hollywood movie will be coming out.

Definitely. It's obvious that it's needed by the snakes or they wouldn't be there. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they moved into that house because their nearby original den was destroyed.
