Overgrown Crocodile for sale.
Ms Sandstrom who dose reptile shows at schools, parties and other functions says her 2.6m long croc named Snappy will be sold as he is to large and dangerous for her to handle anymore. Snappy will be replaced by 2 smaller Crocodiles. I really have to speak out on this one. A pet is a pet for life not just until it gets to big and inconvenient for you. Stories like this are all to common in America and it really pisses me off to hear of this one. I mean what the heck did she expect the Salt Water Crocodile to stay small forever. I honestly think she should not be allowed to keep them anymore if they are so meaningless to her that she can just dump them when they get to big. Like it or not but I dont care, this is one of those stories that I really do not like to tell. I equally hate to give the website a plug but everyone should go there and tell her how much of an immature keeper she really is, check the link below.
Mother and child held captive by man with snakes
A Swedish woman and her child were held captive for hours by a man who said if they tried to leave he would unleash six green Asian pit vipers and two puff adders on them. Police were eventually able to slip in and free the woman and child and the man surrendered without incident. Animal expert Jonas Wahlstrom, director of the Skansen Aquarium collected the snakes and removed them. There were also 2 lizards found and police said the apartment had garbage all over it.
The reptile enthusiasts of Sweden need to stand up, we all need to stand up and work towards the common goal of keeping reptiles out of the hand of people like this. The vast majority of us are good honest people but there are a few who for some reason chose to do stupid things like this and put a bad light on us as a community.
I urge everyone to contact the local government in Stockholm with the contact info below and tell them a story of responsible reptile keeping.

PETA up the creek
Well I am sure many of you have already heard the story about the Arizona restaurant serving Lion tacos. I know its not reptile related but we all hate PETA the same so I could not help but share it. According the the owners of the restaurant they have received 20-30 direct threats and hundreds of indirect threats by people, most of which claim to be PETA supporters or members. Some people are even calling for an investigation into weather or not PETA is involved. According to the 1970 RICO act if they are found to be part of the threats they can be prosecuted as a domestic terror organization which is oh so sweet sounding to my ears. DOWN WITH PETA I say. But what do you think?
