    I don't have anything to offer right now except a small donation to them, but anyone who might be able to auction off a snake or supplies, this is the time to step up.

    Amazing how there are "kids" who love this stuff and are educated, like nate, bpkid, myself and many others on this forum, and then there are kids who are bored and descide to break in and both kill and steal animals, and it isn't like they killed aggressive animals like a beardie, just puts a bad word out for teens and younger people.

    My God...That's awful. I can't believe anyone would do such a thing. Well...actually I can, and that's what's so horrifying. My heart goes out to him and his herps.

    How awful. What is wrong with those people? I sent a small donation through paypal - very quick and easy. Wish I could afford more.
