ummmm mate,

One of the big issues: he doesn't use anaesthetic - just sticky tapes and wires them to a board and hacks out the glands ...

go to http://www.smuggled.com and read his account and take special note of his admission that he expected snakes to die while he "mastered the procedure"

Let's just hope that the RSPCA get wind of this.
