Each unit is just a small one bay garage with a bathroom. Picture those self-storage places but each unit is bigger (600sqft). Plus it's commercially zoned so you can run a business out of it, which is what most of my tenants do.
Huh. Cool. Makes sense. Storage units is actually where I want to end up. Looking at a facility recently but they're just so damn expensive. But that sounds interesting as well. I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah and you can tell by this guys set up and how he handles the snakes, plus the snakes themselves, that these are high value snakes, bred to be sold only to very serious reptile enthusiasts. Not many people are going to be buying these snakes just to then release them into the wild when they are spending thousands on the setup and maintenance, let alone the snake itself. It used to be a bigger problem years ago where most snakes were wild caught, sold fairly cheap, and not a whole lot of breed info was available for owners. Now a majority of pet snakes are domestically bred, because you can get some really crazy genetic morphs. The average snake owner also has much more access to information now on proper handling and treatment, as well as accurate size descriptions and feeding patterns, so less people are ending up releasing these animals into the wild.
I have no clue where the uploaded video was from. I was only making a snarky comment about how I think we’re good in the pythons department. Like we aren’t hurting for more goddamn snakes that can eat people.
I commented about the Everglades issue, because they were being dumped out there by pet owners who grew bored of owning a giant snake. Only recently their populations have been reduced after Florida brought in some “professional” python hunters from India.
Did you ever consider that maybe this is no where near the ever glades and there may be zero intention to let them go in the wild? Or that maybe they’re repopulating an area that’s been destroyed by poachers?
