If you do a search on 'animal cruelty reptiles' you will see that reptile cruelty cases are prosecuted. You merely need to find an authority knowledgeable enough to recognize mistreatment.
First you need proof of abuse. Hearsay is not proof and inadmissable in court...

Re: Sad story :(
I don't think it's fair to immediately call the aspca if the person acted out of ignorance, thinking they were providing a good home. Assuming that is the case, they should be more than willing to do things the right way. If they don't heed the advice and continue with this kind of husbandry, then you can claim abuse.
Of course, everyone should do research before getting a new type of pet they've never had before, but some people don't know better. Punishing them for ignorance isn't really productive, but teaching them can be. That's why I've been reading up on BPs for more than 2 months now, and I don't have a purchase date in mind. I think I have a good grasp on the basics, so I'm ready when purchase time comes.
