Take this to the BOI, right away. The faunaclassified boys don't mess around. They will help in any way they can (atleast in my opinion, and I like looking through the "Bad Guy" threads). Inform him that he wiill be reported there, to the authorities, and you'll be taking legal action.

If you do this, you have to make sure to follow through, cause he will more then likely call your bluff and you've got to be right there to bite him in the kiester if he does.

You can charge him up to 3500 in damages in a small claims court. (I think that amount varies from state to state... you'll have to look into it). Of those fees can be the cost of finding him, and the cost of your adult snake, including an average per month cost of housing such a snake.

You really can bring the hurt down on this guy, if you're willing to take the risk.
