Jeff Houston’s high end Ball Python collection was stolen from his house this past week.

Here's a link to the page The Snake Keepers have put up to collect pledges for a reward...

People like that don't make any sense to me. I wonder what this thief plans on doing with this collection of high dollar animals. He can't POSSIBLY think he is going to be able to sell them and get "fast money". Hmm, the only people that would be interested in a high dollar animal like that is to post them for sale on KS or fauna or here, then all Jeff Houston has to do is see the ad's and say "Wow, that looks alot like the Piebald that got STOLEN from me". Or, if he plans on breeding them to sell the unidentifyable babies, I hope he knows what he's doing. Breeding and getting successful clutches are harder than people (especially like that) portray it to be.

People like that are just a worthless part of this world. It's a real shame.

He'll get caught, I just know it. It's hard, but not impossible, to track animals like that down. I wonder if the animals were microchipped?

But if you can help out with the reward, PLEASE do. I know I will try. It won't be much, but everyone's little bits of cash all add up.
