Nowhere do I even see a single reptile or animal that would require special heating requirements. It just feels like they wouldn't be prepared in equipment or knowledge to take on 15 snakes all of the sudden.

Unless my BPs are really really weird, they seem to like being coiled up instead of stretched out O.o? And I'm sure there's underweight snakes at almost any facility considering BPs go on food strikes every now and then.

Why would the cat become dinner anyway? Was there a burmese running around loose in the house or something?

Lastly I'm kind of curious who this "Mosier" person is. All I can find is that he is part of law enforcement and not a reptile expert. Who is he to say what "cruel confinement" and "dangerous conditions" for snakes are?
I'm more and more bamboozled as this story continues to develop. I'm starting to think this may have been a somewhat bad situation, but the SPCA/Animal rights people are going to wave their victory flag and make this story seem much worst than it really is. Meanwhile, the snakes may be euthanized for all we know.
