    Criminal breaks in and kills family's pet ball pythons and boa

    http://wreg.com/2013/11/20/five-expe...rage-building/
    It appears someone broke in to their facility and killed the snakes. Very sad. I'd be out hunting for whoever did it if it were me.

    A little part of me wonders about how they kept their snakes, and if any wild animal (racoon) could have broken in.

    I find it hard to read such news stories written with such poor grammer . . . Still a sad story though ...

    I'm betting on a relative or a neighbor, someone who thinks they are 'saving' the family from those dangerous pythons before they get too big and kill them. The perpetrators probably thought they were being noble.

    I doubt it as it sounds like the dead snakes were found secured in their enclosures.
