    why so many snakes in or around their homes, sure hope they don’t get permits to keep snakes, snake are for the mtns not homes, ? i wonder who turn these people in,what did they get out of it, a bit stupid i think to sell snakes on the internet,

    I know the Boone County man catches snakes down at Red River Gorge and sells them. He has kept hundreds of dangerous reptiles in his home and put his own daughter in danger. He himself almost died from a rattler bite but still didn’t learn his lesson. You’d think Child Protection would step in at some point…Maybe the child’s mother turned him in!
