Hi all, I live in WI and have been follwing this case. First of I am a very firm believer in "innocent until proven guilty" but his home was raided as he is a suspect in a sexual abuse case so it has nothing to do with the reptiles. I know the news can blow things way out of proportion but aftyer seeing the videos I am disgusted. I have had snakes, lizards, fish and now turtles but the conditions he kept these animals in was bad. One of the storage units had no heat or electricity which you know how bad that is for herps. Most of the anmials have been distributed to many local zoos. Watch the video on this article:

Seeing the cages and that tortise in a tupperware box makes me sick. And they were all in bad conditions not just some. Here are all the news events following the case:

and yes some are a little over the top but when you have zoo officials making these comments you have to believe they are accurate. This is my first post but I have been a lurker for years but I just wanted to make sure all the facts got out so everyone can make an honest opinion of the situation.
