Hey All,
I have kept reptiles for a long time, with minimal people knowing what i had or where i lived etc. I have never had incident.
However, on Tuesday this week we had a pest control company come out to spray the place. The young guy saw all of the animals, (first time in years any non family member had been to our place) as he sprayed all the rooms and around the yard. He even made the comment to my father that he always wanted a snake but had never bothered to because he couldn't be bothered filling out the forms.
Coincidently, that night someone broke into our backyard and used the appropriate tools to steal two animals. I am convinced it was this twat, or he has shot his mouth off to someone that day who has later come around to our house and somehow was able to know how to break through the security we had to steal these animals. I am also convinced this person was not a real herper for two reasons. The first, being that he took a dull looking male diamond and left behind three obviously graivd females. Second, the culprit walked straight past an enclosure that is lit up at night and contains a dozen Boyd's Forest Dragons. Whilst i am mad as heel that someone has broken in, i could get over losing my Diamond. However, any keeper on this site who knows me, knows that my most prized animal is my 12ft plus Coastal Carpet Python named Brutus. He has won awards at South Coast Herps and Macherps for his sheer size. He is a gentle giant and has an unusually large broad head.
However, he is also quite unique and he has three scars on his body which make him very identifiable. Not that i ever expect to see my long term pet again, not that i expect the tosser to turn up to a herp meeting etc but just on the of 0.01% chance of a miracle happening, could people please keep an eye out for my big boy. He was stolen from the Macarthur region. I have also left certain details out as the police are still investigating and they are also convinced that the coincidence of the pest spray bloke being there and making his comments that day only to be robbed the same evening are not coincidental.
I know in my heart these turkeys are not going to care for him the way we have. They no doubt wanted Brutus so they can big note themselves. I just hope that the first time they tried to feed my big gentle (but incredibly violent animal during feed time) giant they get their come uppence.
I also urge reptile keepers not to get complacent when tradies come to their house. We did once and it has cost me heavily. Not that all tradies are scum like this bloke, but they can easily let things slip in a conversation.
