How do you report an irresponsible/abusive Ball Python breeder?

[Snagrio]

Thank you for your response! I didn't realize until I was walking away how bad it was that he was selling sick snakes while surrounded by healthy snakes and responsible vendors.

I think I was just dumbfounded over the entire thing. I've never seen anyone willingly sell sick animals at any of these shows.

The sheer amount of them made me really question his entire set up. Like how bad is his breeding stock that he has 30-40 snakes with genetic defects? Not to mention the 20-30 sick or injured ones he was selling for food.

I'm just hoping by reporting him something will be done or at least investigated. Again thank you for providing a link and information!

I have a couple guesses.

One possibility is he's a super cheapo and has his breeding stock consist entirely of what are supposed to be "pet only" specimens that are typically sold by other breeders at a discount, and he sells what good (or "good enough") offspring he gets for an inflated price as hinted at by your account of the friend who bought from him before while simply offloading the rest as mere feeders.

Another is he picks up a bunch of unwanted snakes from Craiglist and other such places, many likely already in poor condition, and shoddily breeds them that way.

Regardless of the method, it's nothing short of awful. Not only for the animals under his "care" but the blatant endangerment of all other animals at the event as well as potential tarnishing of other vendors' reputations. For example, a perfectly good quality breeder unknowingly has one of their snakes infected during the show by the bad vendor's stock, and then when someone buys the snake, brings it home and finds out they have a sick animal, they'll think it was because of the responsible breeder when it wasn't their fault in reality.
