Bleeder's Club Calendar- Is it appropriate?
There was some joking a while back about doing this, but nothing ever came of it. The topic has recently come up again, but there has been some debate over whether or not such a thing would be appropriate. There are some who feel that getting bit is just part of owning a snake; it happens, might as well make the best of it, and hopefully keep others from making the same mistake that got us munched on. With appropriate disclaimers, this could be done. Others feel that this is a bad idea because 1) it's bad publicity in general 2) some idiot may go getting bit intentionally just to make the calendar.
Do you feel that a Bleeder's Club Calendar would be inappropriate, and if not, would you buy one?

Idiot is kind of a strong word don't you think? Scott were you not the one that perposely antagonized an Ammie into biting you?lol
Besides its not my fault my snakes don't like to bite me. Just think i was just going to take a f/t rabbit and rub it all over me, to get a bite.

If by "antogonized" you mean picked it up, then yes.

I already voiced my opinion to Scott about this but will repeat it here, too:
Posting pics of being bitten in our forums are one thing. It is an, "Oops, I goofed" type of a deal (usually *looks at Scott*  )
Making it into a contest brings about a whole other mindset. There are those that will do it on purpose just to see their picture make it to print. How bad of a bite someone is willing to take on for that is anybody's guess. *shiver*
Then there is the fact the calender is in print, possibly in view of the 'general public'. I see that as bad press. It will show people that owning snakes is in fact dangerous and will push for more legislation against the keeping of them. Although we may know differently, the general public doesn't.
