This is so very sad. You can tell that this man has a passion for his hobby but as others have stated, he is doing something illegal. I had to give up all four of my snakes that I loved so dearly. I moved into a house out in the country and the owner of this house does not tolerate snakes at all, not even a little. I rent this house, not own it, so I must adhere to my lease agreement. I know how hard it is to give up a hobby that you have a great passion for and also for the animals that you love so much. I hope he can move on and be happy that he will at least be able to keep one of his snakes.
