I have to say that the guy didn't exactly do the herp community any favors. I mean, c'mon. There happen to be some exotic snakes in the immediate vicinity of his house and they AREN"T his?? give me a break. I tend to think it is this kind of secrecy and evasiveness that keeps the non-herp world from having any sympathy. If the guy lived next to me and there were snakes escaping left and right, I'd likely report him as a danger too. I think it just comes down to taking responsibility for your actions and I'm not really convinced this guy has.

That said, there are 2 sides to every story.
