maybe back off the OP a little. in his defense it is the owners responsibility to, at the very least research what is going on with his animals not his friend. the fact that the owner refused to take the animal to the vet to begin with shows how he feels about his animals. there is no reason to attack the friend and to go as far as to tell him he should not breed is the most absurd thing i have ever heard. he didnt do this, it wasn't his snake, there is no grounds to say such things. should he have told him?....yes he should have. would it have made a difference? i doubt it. if you dont take your animal to the vet when you see thier insides come out then pointing out the obvious to them isnt going to do much.
