Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
Who would leave those snakes like that? I wouldn't want to walk into that mess. There could be a cobra hiding in any number of places in that dirty room.

"scum baggery" ...jamie glass
this is the only quote that comes to mind when i think of the people or person that did this! uncalled for.
i wish keeping pets or animals wasn't appealing to people like that, it really is unfair!

Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
Oh wow those poor little beauties, well I am glad that they were found and are now going to be properly cared for.
Why have an animal if your not going to care for it....Just doesn't make sense, Ven or not.
Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
I really liked the part about the "southeastern cobra that is from this area"! Too funny!!!
What idiots!!
This is really more common than you might think it is. There was a storage building opened in the Dallas area a few years back that had quite a few rattlesnakes and others in it. A friend of mine who is the Pres. of a local herp society housed them all for a time until they could be found new homes.
Also curious as to why this is in the colubrid forum.

I know they are venomous snakes but come on thier animals to they need loving care also

No, you can get them for a couple of hundred or less.
Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
Am I mistaken or was the "southeastern cobra" a rattler? Anyway, I'm kinda in love with the man who was helping GFC. "It's animal cruelty - same as with a turtle, cat or dog". I doubt there were many people there saying THAT. Especially because some of the animals were known to be venomous. Usually the reaction in that situation isn't "oh how sad, how horrible!" It's "why would someone keep such a dangerous animal?"
...I dunno, it just gets to me how animals without a "cuteness factor" don't get as much help from humanity.

I'm just glad that the owner DIDN't pay his bill... at least they have been discovered. I hate to say it, but it could have been worse.
Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
The southeastern cobra looks a lot like a diamond back rattler.... :rolleyes:
Re: Snakes found in storage unit (CNN)
I moved this out of the colubrid forum...not sure how that got missed for so long. LOL
As for the rattlesnake/cobra mixup...I think it was just a misspoken word...not that the reporter was intending to call it a cobra. He'd been going on about the cobras in the room...and when he switched species his brain was stuck on the "cobra" word. I think we've all done that at some point or another...used one word when we meant to use another. Should have been caught in editing, of course...but I would imagine the ones editing the spot know even less than the reporter covering it. :P
