An imagined conversation should 660 pass:

Why yes Mr. Freaky, we completely understand your not wanting to be prosecuted for having these snakes. We totally understand that when you got them they were absolutely legal for you to have. There is no question about that, you are not a law breaker. Why, our very presence here proves that now, doesn't it?

We've had lots of people that thought just like you did, that they could keep their snakes and dogs and cats and canaries, and really if it was up to me I'd tell you to keep them and enjoy but, unfortunately for you, it's not up to me so let's just continue on. Shall we.

Oh, that's a nice one there. A banana ball you say, wow, gorgeous. Oh come now, no snake is worth that much. Really? 2 of them and orders for more? I could not have ever imagined so much money in snakes. Used to catch em when I was a kid, garter snakes mostly. Stinky buggers. A damn shame these will all have to be destroyed. You'd think they'd at least adopt them out but they have some Zero tolerance thing and since no one is supposed to have any, no one gets to have any.

Didn't you guys try to stop this? Ahhh, yeah, that small voice thing is rough. Especially when you've got deep pockets like PETA in the other corner. You know, I heard the broad who runs it is only alive today because of tests done on animals. Kinda two-faced, don't you think? Yeah, me too.

Ok, I guess that's the last of them. You'd think 32 snakes would weigh more but I guess they are kinda small compared to some. We picked up a Burmese, a beautiful brown and yellow and black one a couple of weeks ago, weighted 187 lbs. Some poor guy had raised it up from a baby, 14 years, and now she's gone. That was sad. It's tough to see a grown man cry.

Well, hopefully I won't be seeing you again. There was a guy coupla counties over tried to hide some of his lizards from pick up and I hear he's doing time now. Better to have just given them up when he was supposed to, don't you think? Yup, me too, why risk it?

Good luck and really, sorry to have to do this, but it's my job.
