I don't know if its a black eye for burm keepers but rather a black eye for reptile parks whose only motivation and purpose is to make money and commercialize reptiles for purely selfish reasons. There are some, no, MANY, incredible facilities in the U.S. and while they may make money, their mission is education whereas Serpent Safari is all about the glam and glitz and profits; lots of pizzazz w/out any substance, education or factual information.

>>"Gurnee: A day after telling The News-Sun his prize snake died a year ago and been cremated, the owner of Serpent Safari told authorities the snake instead died Sunday and was disposed of by employees."

>>So yet, another black eye for all of us burm keepers.
