They just got around to arresting the snake/business owner and charged him with criminal negligence causing death the end of last month (he fled the provence). It is waiting trial I think not sure however. It is clear that there is a lot of people in trouble with this.

I agree that it should not effect current laws but you know, they seem to think making new laws will control illegal pets more will work when the old laws making them illegal did. or something... Or maybe they are trying to save themselves by implying that the snake was legal and NOW it is not legal... The whole situation is a mess. Someone whom has for many years claimed to be a 'reptile expert' should know better (I mean how large would a snake have to be to NOT fit in a even a 6 inch tube?)

It is so sad, the whole thing should never have happened.
