B.E.M's (Booger Eating Morons) like this are the reason that responsible keepers have to keep battling legislation against herp keeping. We are often our own worst enemies.

Yup, I agree. It's idiots like this that ruin it for the rest of us. :irked:
 
Watching the video that freaking idiot is lucky he hasn't been tagged before on his face. I unfortunately moved to a this state 4 years ago and had to sell the collection that I had. I wish all states would have a permit process similar to Florida's in order to keep hots... even for rear fanged snakes (which are legal here:irked:).

Natural selection at its best...

Nope. In order for natural selection to work, the idiot would have had to have died BEFORE he reproduced. Not only is he still alive, he has spawned.
 
A suicidal moron at the best. Clearly born drunk, intoxicated or with the IQ equivalent of homer simpson.
 
When I read this in the newspaper I really had mixed feelings towards it. On 1 hand, accidents do happen, and just because he had a small amount of drugs in his home doesnt make him a less responsible owner.
IMO accidents happen, The most experienced snake handlers have mostly all been bitten at some point in their careers. It comes with the territory, and its a risky pet to own. He might have just been trying to feed it or clean the cage and it suprisingely struck.
If you want to be mad at anybody, be mad and the media. They milk every horrible sounding detail out of the story, exactly the same they have done with pitbulls.
Yeah, so what if he had a couple beers in his fridge and and some pariphinalia, who hasnt at one point or another?
What I dont get is why the snake was taken away from him? Did he do anything illegal? I know hes going to have 1 hell of a medical bill. Possession charges will probably be thrown out due to unlawful seizure.
 
Ok after watching that video, He is a jackass. But I still blame the media. I mean, how often does central PA have a news story like this.
 
moron.

ps still dont agree with permits. gov cant make it simple, and keep thier hands out of it. they would just make it worse and worse till it is impossible.

pps we had this discussion before money has nothing to do with level of care
