I'm not a reptile guy, but an ex of mine had a corn snake and I personally didn't really get the appeal. It was cool to watch it eat, but that was once every 1-2 weeks. The rest of the time it just kinda sat there, being an ambush predator with not much going on in its head. I handled it, it was ok. The thing clearly had very little brain and no soul, just enough synapses to sit there and wait for dinner. But if that's what you want from a pet, a non-venomous snake has the same appeal as a venomous one, except that it won't kill you, which is always a bonus in a pet. People keeping venomous snakes ring the same bells as people who have ridiculous weapon dogs like Pitbulls or XL Bullies - I'm sure they can make great pets, but so do the 99% of dog breeds that don't eat babies on the regular. If you have one it's an ego thing, "look at me, I'm badass because I'm close to danger all the time and can handle it like a boss", and that's also the attitude that causes these retards to take stupid risks with their uncontrolled autonomous bio-weapons. It's worse than being a jackass with guns, because at least with a gun you control what it's pointed at and whether you pull the trigger, rather than 2ft of scared/hungry wrong-long with less smarts than a clock-radio.

Worst thing about this is that as soon as he's out of the hospital he'll probably go right back to being a jackass and buy new animals that he'll treat just as carelessly as he's been doing before.

Not if he can't move his arms or legs. Now who's the snake? Get slithering.
 
I feel bad for all the animals - inland taipans included - but wtf don't be out here neglectin' and aboozin' my heckin' servalerinos. Now I'm reading that he has reportedly escaped and has not been found.

Hope is not completely lost for Swaggers (hilarious name by the way); escaped wild animals can be incredibly resourceful. If true domesticated housecats can adapt to living in the wild then surely a serval can. Inshallah he will be rescued and get to live at a cat sanctuary.

Got nervous there for a second lmfao.
 
I don't have anti venom for an Inland Taipan, or any other kind of Taipan, but I'm still gonna laugh at this faggot. How the fuck did he get hold of a fucking Inland Taipan anyway?
Those things are Australian and I'm pretty sure you can't export/import them which means he's got it through nefarious means.
Seems like a weird way to commit suicide.

I feel bad for the snakes, whichever faggot decided to kill all of them instead of rehousing them should be forced to run the Boston Marathon with a sack filled with Solifuges tied to his dick. Not fair the Danger Noodles had to die for this fucks incompetence.

We have a Green Iguana, he's neat, he has a personality like a scaly weird dog, got him when he was tiny about 20 years ago, he's huge now.
I've never kept snakes but Iguanas are awesome.

So if I'm understanding it, this guy said antivenom is for pussies but now needs it? Lol

I don't believe snakes even have the wiring to be affectionate. They are even dumber than mice.

The thing with reptiles is most are basically asocial and incapable of affection and the ones that can be affectionate it's almost impossible to accurately read. Like crocodilians are freakishly smart and some species are social to the point of hunting in packs but how the fuck is that 10 foot alligator ever gonna communicate his affection even if he has it? But it's much more common that a reptile can consider you safe/fun/interesting because you don't hurt it and you feed it and it's pretty easy to convince yourself that's the same thing as affection because humans are jumped up monkeys and view the world through a social lens.

Aren't inland taipans native to Australia? How did this freak get one?
I hope he dies. Exotic pet illegal traders should all die from their pets.

Australia actually has a really good track record on preventing people from exporting pets in any significant numbers but they only started to do so in like the 70s IIRC. So a lot of species made it out into private collections before then. Some of the most popular pets in the trade are bearded dragons and blue-tongue skinks and they are both Australian species that have a lot of enthusiasts breeding them. And we can be pretty sure that's true because if it wasn't the price on some of the rare species of easy-to-breed reptiles like some of the more obscure blue tongue skinks that didn't get into many private collections would crash pretty quickly. Other Australian blue tongues are 200-300 USD although you can get an Indonesian species for half that because they get bred in shitty illegal farms and exported to retards
 
This incident made me do some thinking about the ethics of keeping certain animals in captivity. I think some like venomous snakes should be left in the wild where they thrive and belong.
This thread does make me want to post my leopard gecko tho ngl
 
As much as retarded jews getting what's coming to them make me smile, animal abuse not so much. Shame the snakes had to be put down and his big cat is MIA, but at least now Jeffrey knows that anti-venom is, indeed, not just for pussies.
What was the plan here, to keep extremely expensive and dangerous snakes in his house and make grifting content off of them? There is so many different ways to steal money from retards if that was his goal, as one of the chosen he should have known.
 
Saw this a couple days ago when ViperKeeper posted his video about Kentucky Reptile Zoo getting review bombed for having a policy to not give antivenin to retards. I think that they are the closest facility that had it for the inland taipan.

I really wondered why this guy kept them, but didn't bother to buy the antivenin (which is also apparently extremely expensive at something like 5 grand a vial, and you need multiple if bitten), then I found his Facebook and the second video is him free handling a small one with its tail shaking like VK was talking about and it makes sense.

Can't believe this got a thread on here, but seeing how much worse this idiot is that I thought, I understand now.

People that buy super death snakes and lizards are stupid. Why do you have a death creature in your house? Buy a dog or something. Hope this retard bites it.

I've never felt anything like affection from my Iguana, he's a lizard, but they're definitely curious and intelligent, he'll follow us around and get nosy if we're doing something that he thinks means food. We keep a bowl of chopped veggies and fruits for him on a shelf on his log (he's got like a climbing frame I made partly from drift wood with different levels and shelves) and he does the beard wave thing to let you know if it needs filling.
Only thing is he eats flowers so my wife gets pissed at him sometimes :story: some reptiles can be quite intelligent but they're just so different from mammals it's impossible to tell what they're thinking, it's not like a dog or a cat, even though our Iguana reminds me of a scaly green dog sometimes.
 
Everyone keeps moping about how "sad it is the snakes died". Well in my eyes this is no different than furniture being destroyed. Snakes cant't think, or feel, or understand anything other than attacking and eating food. My mechanical watch is probably smarter than any snake. Snakes are so stupid that some breeders have problems with them eating themselves because they think their own tails are food. Then they think that their food is attacking them after they bite themselves and they start biting harder and harder until the kill themselves.

So yeah I guess in the aspect that value was destroyed it's sad but emotionally I could not give fewer fucks.

From what I understand not only is it like $5k a vial, but it has a shelf-life measured in months. So it's not like you pay 5 grand and keep it for emergencies, it's the equivalent to some people's entire annual income to keep around. That's why there are Facebook groups where they crowdsource and crowdfund the stuff (not for Taipans as a rule, as nobody who isn't insane or a zoo/science lab keeps them). But of course ol'Jeff said antivenom was for pussies and slagged off these groups, so I doubt they were falling over themselves to help him.

A number of these people actually study them, or at least supply venom to make antivenin. Some breed them to furth conservation efforts. Others foster them in between the animal's journey from zoo to zoo.

Then, some do it for clout, social media numbers, and/or profit.

Yep, might as well feel bad for a poisonous plant getting cleared out.
