Snakes World

Who would send a package of live snakes to someone? Doesn’t that sound cruel all the way around? Well, this very thing happened near Cincinnati, Ohio last week. The suspicious package was discovered when FedEx employees saw a parcel moving. The police were called and an officer confirmed there were boa constrictors in the package. A rescue group was contacted and took over from there. Apparently a man was sending the boas to someone in Arizona. This is obviously not the way to ship live reptiles. Was he trying to harm the snakes or the the man he was sending them too? Maybe neither, but at the very least, it was poor judgement. We don’t know yet, but for snake enthusiasts like myself, this is troubling. We know that the boa constrictors are not poisonous, but still…Oh by the way, the man in Arizona was told he “may not get the snakes.” No not now, I doubt that he will. A few years back, FedEx had some commercials where they would say “This is a job for FedEx.” Not this time.
