I have no knowledge of any of the parties involved in this, but I do have 30yrs of reptile keeping under my belt. I have seen dehydration deaths and I am pretty sure that a snake in that condition has not only just died.

I don't know what the full story is here, but I think there may be more to this than meets the eye Confused

My opinion ..i have kept reptiles for over 25 years,had 2 reptile shops,have imported reptiles from many countries,even when a shipment has arrived from a thirdworld country with dead animals in the box ,they never looked as bad as that,to me it looks like that snake has been sitting in a deep freeze,awaiting the right moment to reappear.
i am sure many of you who are not used to seeing a dead animal/rep are shocked by the picture ,i think that was the intention! but think about it ,
a forum arse Dan may be ,but would he be so stupid as to send that out?
and no dan is not a freind of mine, and this is just my opinion Rolling Eyes

very true Jim..and I agree it does look like its been a long time dead but as you say only the parties involved know the whole truth..my sympathy lies with the poor animals. Confused

I'm sure Dan will reply as soon as he is back online.I for one am certainly looking forward to hearing the "other" side of the story.
