Wow,
Who is without fault, cast the first stone...
Seems to me that this kid actually is quite responsible for his age. He seems to love his snakes very much and from what is seen in the videos, he takes good care of them and seems to have done his homework.
So he had a snake escape. Seems to me this has happened to the best of us !! The snake escaped and got into a bad spot. Some escapees are never found. Some are found dead, some are found injured or so weak they pass away. This one got burned by crawling on a heat source.
I wouldn't have "taped" the last moments either, or shown it. But that alone doesn't make him a bad owner. I have seen far, far worse !!! All his snakes look well fed and well taken care of, aside from the burn. He even seems to care about possible laws regarding our hobby. Most people don't give a ding dong.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't see a case of neglect or abuse here...
