I just wanted to let everyone know that tonight, Snakeman's Snake Shows will be a quest on the show Keepin' Country Strong, on cable TV. We were invited to perform on the show to promote our educational snake shows and our adoption and rescues. I thought it was going to be a 10 minute spot, but was informed we will be on most of the 1 hour show. I will bring most of our nasties to keep the excitement level up. Wish us luck and I will let you know how it turns out. This is definitely going to be a show that puts snakes in a positive light. Of course ATBs will be highlighted.

Tried to find it but it's not on around here. Is there a link where we can go and watch it?

**millertime89** · 10-21-11, 03:58 PM

well wee wee.

Yup. It doesn't appear as though they re-air episodes either, not nationally syndicated, so no way to get re-runs or anything

It will be replayed on Tuesday & Wen. in the NY area. I hope to have a copy of the show to up load soon But I will have stills in a few days for everyone to see.

I should have mentioned that it was a NY show. It has a million viewers though. Hope to be able to upload the show soon.

We performed on a live show, called Keepin' Country Strong with Carl & Benzee. It has a viewing audience of over 1,000,000 and was live on Thurs. and will be aired again on Tues. and Wends. nights in other areas. We were guest with the Pocono Hot Dog Man and a rapper Timmy Grins. The show was a laugh a minute as everyone there was just having fun. The show has been on for 20 years and is normally used to promote new musical talent, but tonight they stepped outside the box.

One of the funny things was that Carl has a band himself, The Carl Richards Band, who I use to promote when I had a morning radio show many years ago. When Carl asked me to come on his show he did not realize it was me. We had already performed together at a few event, him with his band and me with my snakes.

Here are a few still shots from the show. All the pictures are courtesy of Herb, of photosbysack. The rest of the still shots can be seen @ PhotosBySack or Home - Snakeman's Snake Shows.

Here I started with an Amazon Tree Boa. The boa zeroed in on the co-host Benzee causing him to try and hide by Carl.

Being I was told by Carl to "get" Benzee, I handed him the stick and took out one of my Garden Phase Amazons, which also zeroed in on Bezee.

Next up was a Bull Snake, doing what a Bull Snake does best. He was bluffing with his loud hissing and short strikes. I put him up to the mic. so he could be heard.

Up next was the baby Rock Python. The gloves go on for him, because he is so nasty and never stops his biting. Here he shows his typical attitude biting the gloves. Him and Benzee got into a boxing match, but Benzee stayed out of the Rocks reach.

I always use one of my favorite venomous snake, and that is my Water Moccasin / Cotton Mouth. He never fails to show how they got their name, with the open mouth display. We then tube and milk the venom from him to show that he is still a Hot snake and how much venom they have.

Then at the end of the show as everyone gathers round the Snakeman's table we all end the show with a big YEA HA. In this picture you will see from left to right, Me, (Jerry the Snakeman), my lovely wife and assistant Kathi, Benzee, The Pocono Hot Dog Man, Carl and Timmy Grins.
