    Owner of The Boa Store busted for illegal reptiles

    Quite a shame for the hobby. Always know your ordinance regulations, and either follow them or move out.

    Seems you can get jailtime for Boa constrictors.

    "There's a lot of kids in this neighborhood " the cop said, like snakes are dangerous.
    This makes me sad, more bad rep for snakes.

    I suppose you should keep in mind that he did have venomous snakes with him.
    But it does beg the question- since when were Boa constrictors considered dangerous?

    Nelson said ODNR wildlife agents were trying to identify the reptiles Friday night but it was difficult because the snakes colors change when they are interchanged
    Honestly?

    I'm pretty sure he meant interchanged in a breeding aspect. Like all the different morphs.

    If I ever meet anyone who refers to a hobbyist as a hoarder, I'm gonna bust their face up. The author also refers to the 40 Canadian ball pythons, who were siezed about a month or two ago, as Burmese pythons. Mike Fossum is becoming my least-favorite reporter already!
