I think he's a jerk. I hate the way he holds those snapping turtles by the plastron. It looks like that would be painful to the turtle. And I've seen him occasionally hold them by their tail. This could actually be harmful to the turtle. And kissing its face? Puhleeze!
I watched a couple episodes, then decided it wasn't my cup of tea. I DO like the skunk guy. And, of course, the one who started it all, Billy the exterminator!

After seeing the preview for this show, I was afraid to watch it...

oh is this the one that has like no teeth? and he throws them into a pile and they start biting each other. and eventually are sold for meat?
Well, I don't know about the pile thing, but yes, he has no teeth. The two episodes I watched they said they treat them humanely and set them free far away from civilization, back into the wild.
got his teeth knocked out by chain saw, no, he rehomes the animals. i did see 2 snapper biteing each other , should have been in another bucket.pdrobber said:
LOL by the sounds of it .. it may be a good thing i dont have cable!! with all the stuff on anymore haha
I have seen the commercial and since I finally have dv-r I have replayed it over and over to see, he is not ripping the tail off that tort is he???Please tell me no!!
And I agree Yvonne, the skunk guy, who I just saw last night, is way cool. And Billy well he rocks!!!
It has become, reality TV or nothing, well except for The Big BAng theory!(and Sons of ANarchy)

The show is the biggest joke. along with the rattlesnake republic , these two shows were taken off my tivo after the first 2 minutes , does the network exc. think the viewing public will watch anything just cause animals are in them ?
RE: call of the widman
i like those guys too.but i think where turtle man lives, some things can affect your farm or live stock. i think its better to relocate then eat or just kill them. i only seen the show a few times .
he said his teeth where knocked out with a chain saw trimming a tree. 180 stiches.

I believe someone posted this a few weeks ago...
around 4:35 he talks about different cuts of meat, he sounds serious, maybe I'm wrong.

I WOULD BE VERY UPSET IF THE KENTUCKY TARZAN TURTLEMAN EATS WHAT HE SAYS HE SAVES!pdrobber said:
Don't kid yourselves. How do you think this guy got to be like he is, and handle those snappers the way he does? I'll bet he's trapped, killed, eaten thousands of turtles in his life. Doesn't necessarily mean he does now.Turtleman the tv personality saves 'em. Who knows what the guy portraying him does. To kill snappers or softshells in ohio, all you need is a fishing license. My neighbor eats snappers. He handles them quite well.

Haven't got around to watching it just yet, but think I will, just to see if it's as good (or bad) as folks say.
It was interesting to see him in action, but the way he throws them together, I'd say he doesn't have any love of these torts!!(And the original link said he was close to being the next Crocodile Hunter, NO WAY, he is nowhere near close to Steve., he had a genuine love of those animals!)
