The question is how did his neighbors know he had so many snakes and that they were venemous? Snakes are nice, quiet, clean pets that are hardly noticeable if you take good care of them. With 50 of them, I would imagine that guy either breeds his own rodents or buys frozen, so it's not like he's constantly coming home wheeling boxes of live rodents in.
He's keeping them legally, since he has a permit, and animal control said they'd never received a complaint about the snakes.
So what happened that city council thought they needed to take action? City council really does have better things to do than go after a single man with a large collection of reptiles, venemous or not.
It doesn't sound to me like it's the government trying to take over, it sounds to me like venemous boy screwed up and scared someone, and that someone made a stink.
