well, don't be too hard until you know the facts...I've seen articles saying "kept outside" before, and then another article will say that they had the snake in a climate controled shed away from the house. Also, you don't know what kind of cage he had for it...being in a location that is for the most part very warm, he might have what's needed to maintain proper heat through the cooler months. Basically, I just don't think it's right to be sending hate mail without knowing the whole truth. Anybody with first hand experience with a situation that has been reported in the media will tell you they seldom get the facts right, hell, nowadays they don't even TRY to get the facts right because they get in the way of a good story!
