Very sad for smuggled snakes...often carried or left in horrible conditions, many die from dehydration & exposure (too cold or too hot), & even if they are released
later by authorities, they have a hard time surviving because it's a near certainty they will not be released in their home territory, where they knew their way around.
I hate poachers & wildlife smugglers! They cause the death of SO many exotic animals, not just snakes. Please don't buy wild-caught snakes...you're enabling
this illegal cruelty & SO much loss of life.
