Article doesn't say whether this keeper has done anything wrong.

I hope it's not the same person who was caught with boas and other exotics a while back.

Definitely some things have gone bad with the collection and the owner's husbandry as the piece states some of the animals were found to be dead , and the RSPCA is looking into the matter ( that's a surprise to me as I was under the distinct impression that if it had scales the RSPCA didn't give a toss about it).

@pinefamily, No not the same fellow. The boas plus person was located in southern suburbs of Perth.
@kingofnobbys. The cynical response would be to say they smelled an easy conviction to help along their flagging public profile and stats. But I wouldn’t want to be that cynica... would I?

@ Bluetongue1, I recall there being another one in the Geelong area. I would've hoped he/she is still locked up.
And I was thinking the same thing about the RSPCA. Anything to get in the media....

I shouldn't be saying this but damn getting exotics into WA must be super tough. I won't say nice job but I'm a little impressed (or the psychopathic side of me is anyways)
