His parents want to observe natural selection first hand.

Edit: Anyone want to bet that at some point he'll get his hands on a poisonous snake like a diamond back or (if he wants something colorful) a coral snake?

He has mentioned wanting a King Cobra.

I'm at work right now but when I get off I'll start posting about the various things he fucks up. I've been keeping reptiles since I was 8, so I think I know a thing or two.
 
All I could think of seeing these videos was Chris and his cats, but at least most people know how to take care of cats. Those poor snakes.

I find it ironic that this kid wants us to support a legal defense fund so people won't be prohibited from owning certain snakes, but this kid is the last person who should be around snakes.

I suggest his parents get him a digipet and get him addicted to vidya. Works for Chris.
 
I couldn't get very far into the reptile room video; the kid's voice was really grating on me. Are you sure he's high-functioning, Surtur? He reminds me a lot of the lower-functioning kids I knew at school, who were sort of preprogrammed with certain phrases they used over and over again.

Seconding the "should he be handling them like that?" thing. I like snakes--wanted a ball python for years--but I also prefer sociable housepets, and I heard snakes can't be tamed and shouldn't be handled much.

Edited because apparently I wrote "Satan" instead of "Surtur." There are too many Ultimate Evils on this forum.

Would his parents get him one? I'm going to guess they don't consider non-venomous snakes to be dangerous so it's okay for him to handle them. But they probably do recognize the danger anything from the Elapidae family would present to him or them.

Though from the videos I'm not going to rule out them actually being that stupid.
 
I don't know what's going to get this guy first. One of these snakes is going to strangle him or he's going to get salmonella from slobbering all over them like that.

I feel so bad for these animals. I've never had a snake, but I know that snakes and reptiles in general tend to be very delicate and need a light touch while handling. They're also very environmentally sensitive so they always need clean tanks and proper lighting and hides. So to see this moron flinging around his animals and keeping them in tiny, dirty enclosures... it's hard to watch. I was holding my breath at the video where he just chucked his monitor lizard in the bathtub with no safe way for it to get out or even breathe. Then he just... grabbed it by the tail and yanked on it, when the poor thing already seemed very stressed and scared. That's just awful. No wonder the corn snake hates him so much. (also who the hell screams like that when threatened by a tiny little corn snake? "Snake expert" my ass.)

If I remember right many of these animals are very expensive. Where the hell does his family keep getting the money for these?

Watching these videos is like going through one of those Boiling Points pranks. Only when you finally lose it, nobody tells you it's a prank, and you have to deal with knowing this is all real.
No hides, cages that are way too small, cages that are dirty, cages on the floor, temperature and humidity levels are probably wrong, stressed animals,... Everything about this is upsetting to watch.

Considering they've already bought him snakes that could easily choke the life out of him, I'm going to say yes. They ARE that stupid.
 
LOL, look what he wrote on his about page -

We need to start looking at snakes as animal companions,they are pets and can meet the definition of a domesticated animal. Many view snakes as a non-pet wild type animal that is just lying in wait to kill people, and these large ignorant notions are fueled by the people who have a medical condition called neurosis, more specifically ophidio phobia (fear of snakes). The phobia is a unconscious conflict that arouses anxiety and leads to maladaptive use of defensive mechanisms. Ophidio phobic people would rather take away our rights to own snakes than admit they have a diagnosable medical condition. I'm not crazy for keeping pet snakes because you need to see a therapist.

LOL, he thinks people who don't want him to keep snakes need to see a therapist.

This kid is personally an example of why there should be regulations on who is allowed to own exotic pets.

Not because this dumbfuck is probably going to end up dead. That's probably a good thing.

But THINK OF THE SNAKES! THE POOR SNAKES!

I believe that responsible people should be allowed to own these animal. Laws against owning reptiles is generally reactionary and is often supported by groups who want to see all pets banned, such as HSUS, who are a lolherd in their own right. This kid makes it hard to make that argument.
 
Ok, I just watched these videos and good God this kid is repetitive as hell! He's worse than ForeverKailyn!

"This is a beautiful corn snake, yeah, she's a beautiful snake and so sweet, yeah this is a corn snake, yeah corn snake, yeah."

Not to mention his voice is pretty grating. I don't know anything about reptiles though I love snakes and wish I could have one but they are expensive as hell. I respect those that have snakes and knows how to take care of them. Having a pet like that takes a lot of research and care which obviously this kid doesn't know shit about the animals in his care. Some of them looked dried up, they were in dirty, small cages and it just seems like it's animal abuse.

If I were his parents, I would probably make him do his research and maybe get him in touch with a herpetologist or a snake breeder who could teach him the proper way to care for a pet. It seems to me that this kid is a wannabe Steve Irwin but yet he can't even discuss the basic facts about the snakes that he has.

Someone needs to take those poor reptiles from him.
 
You know my lizard I mention anytime I can? You know how much I love her?
Those clips were like fucking horror films to me. Especially that third one. He grins like a fucking maniac while he talks about how he let his snake get out for 3 months and how it got breathing problems and rotting mouth, his father(?) closes the camera up on that kids scary, greasy face and laughs like a psycho clown... *shudders* Ugh! These videos actually had me yelling at the screen and almost shed a tear! God damn!!

Doesn't responsible people being allowed to own certain kinds of animals necessarily imply that certain absolutely batshit incompetent lunatics shouldn't?

Does reasonable regulation necessarily imply handing everything off to the lunatics of PETA?

The problem is there is no way to do it without making it too difficult for anyone to get any pets. We don't need regulation, we need education.
