    Re: California Python Breeder Arrested After 100s of Dead Pythons Found in Home

    This is very upsetting. These are the kinds of stories that make our families worry when they hear that the hobbyist in their family is using racks/getting more than just one snake.

    Im sure this is hyped up a lot. He may have had a few dead and some as the report say's BONES so starving snakes which is horrible but the majority of the queues seem to be coming from people who cry abuse because you keep a snake in a rack system. Like no
    actual number of dead snakes just actual how many he had total... Hmmm. And the one quote "the majority of them are GOING to be dead". Come on really.

    That is just TERRIBLE. If I'm not mistaken.....is this the High End Herps Bill Buchman?? I read a long BOI thread on him before on Fauna....if this is the same guy....people thought he was dead? Not sure if this is the same person.

    From what I've read, it seems he just got in over his head, combined with the fact that he lost his Mom a year or two ago...that can have a crushing effect on some folks...sad situation all around...for the snakes and Bill...

    By his thanked posts here and the replies on the article it looks like this guy was liked by both our community and his community in SoCal. Last activity here was in December 2012. Tends to be how stuff like this happens, people fall out of contact and then you see them on some strange/tragic news story. I always find it strange how no one was around to intervene before things get this bad. Did the guy have no one he could go to for support? Really sucks all around.
