Stolen snakes at Hamburg Show.

I know that some were recovered at the show. Here is a story from the local news. Sounds like they all have been recovered now. Thank god. Anyone who would do that deserves to be in jail.

Glad to see they nailed him. Balls might be big business, but its a pretty small world. I am surprised he tried to sell them at a show. Give him a Darwin Award and hope he never breeds. ( I don't mean ball pythons either.)

Were these the people that had them stolen out of like the trailer thing they kept them in...?

Ava will know what im talking about...

I hate thieves. They should just cut their arms/fingers off like they did back in the old days. If they lose one arm from stealing something, I'd bet they don't do it a second time.

I had a guy approach me in the parking lot on the way in and ask me if I was interested in buying a 5 foot boa and 3 corn snakes. When I told him No, I only dealt with ball pythons, he said he also had a super pastel.

What were the 5 stolen snakes?

Gj to the staff at that event, that will certainly make you feel a little more secure when going to the expos.

yep, same people!

that is good news, but I still don't believe the whole buying all of them from someone if who ever stole them knew what they were worth why sell them for $800. im thinking this was the guy that stole them and is trying to avoid a serious jail time. I also wonder if the owners of the snakes knew him or saw him around.
