They should shoot the dudes then the snakes

Wasn't one of the reasons Pythons have proliferated in the Everglades and South Florida was that initially they could not euthanize them but had to relocate them?

Those people above are evil and need to be off the streets permanently.

Then shoot the snakes.

 

[Rebarcock.]

Why did my venomous snake suddenly not care anymore,?

I have ran across people that have boa constructors and pythons as pets. Rest assured I never went back to their house the instant they take them out of the cage.

Black Mambas aren’t the problem. It’s the owners.

My mambas are lovable and sweet.

Toss these people into a concrete tank 12 feet deep with all their snakes. Keep the snakes unfed for a week or two. Make them crawl around on their hands and knees. Then toss a couple of dozen rats into the hungry snakes and watch the festivities.
